The increasing need for learning English language had been very crucial as soon as it started to be spoken all over the world in the last five decades, but as soon as its courses did not meet the learners or employers’ needs; therefore, the English for Specific Purposes have predominantly been emerged; that is, “The demand for English for Specific Purposes…..continues to increase and expand throughout the world” St- Johns & Dudley-Evans (2001). Learning ESP whose lion share is to English for Business purposes, became the prominent part in ELT that itself has been advanced due to the rise of the expanding use of social networks such as YouTube, tweeter, and Facebook. This paper is a step to describe the beliefs of the Business English learners towards the use of the subtitled business related videos on YouTube for the development of their business English writing skills. To attain this aim, a questionnaire has been designed as a research method to collect data from Business English learners whose sample size was 25. It was also consisted of closed ended questions as well as scaled questions. 20 second year students from the department of Financial Management and Accountancy - University of Saida- answered the questions. The results of the data analysis revealed that the business English learners have positive attitudes towards some use of the subtitled business related videos on YouTube.
