Popis: The “Learning English with Mothers using YouTube” program is specifically designed to cater to mothers who have children enrolled in elementary school, particularly those in the third and fourth grades. At the outset of the program, a total of 19 mothers expressed interest and enrolled; however, only six of these mothers completed the program. This phenomenological study aims to delve into the various experiences of these mothers as they actively support their children in the process of learning English, particularly through the use of YouTube media. The findings from this study reveal that the participants engaged in collaborative study sessions alongside their children, which significantly aided in the development of new vocabulary and reading skills for both mothers and their children. Furthermore, the mothers shared that they gained valuable insights into their children’s specific learning interests, which in turn fostered closer familial bonds and connections. They also recognized the positive potential that smartphones can offer in educational contexts. It is anticipated that this program will empower parents, equipping them with the tools and knowledge necessary to guide their children in effectively utilizing smartphones for constructive educational purposes, such as learning English through various YouTube resources.
