This article focuses on the improvement of English phonetic skills at high school students in terms of the requirements of the Federal State of the General Secondary Education, Common European Framework References for Languages (Level B1), codifier and specifier of the Unified State Exam, which regulate both the Foreign Language curriculum at high school and the Speaking Part of the Unified State Exam in English. The authors revealed a gap between the requirements of the normative documents and insufficient methodological support of teaching phonetics at high school. The analysis of the textbooks recommended by the Ministry of Education revealed the acute need to provide the curriculum with exercises in practical phonetics. The authors suggest the methodical solution on providing the tenth- and eleventh-grade curriculum with the course on the English phonetics based on the Internet YouTube platform. The choice of the platform is conditioned by its popularity and by the fact that the integration of YouTube video lessons on the English phonetics has a number of didactic functions. The article also provides some didactic principles to follow when designing YouTube videos for teaching phonetics to high school students.
