The current research outlines the concept of building an experimental ESP study guide which manifests integration of traditional and innovative approaches to teach YouTube-based video consumption to B2+-C1 level undergraduate university students majoring in International Relations studies during 2022-2025. The research delineates the methodological and psychological principles which lay the foundation for the ESP study guide and elaborate on the psychological definition of viewing comprehension and correlation between the key viewing comprehension strategies and VC activities developing them at the pre-, while-, and after-viewing stages of presenting videos. Special attention is paid to the selection of the subject matter for the study guide and five principles of opting for videos: the thematic and contemporaneity principle, the principle of relevance, and information content, and that of political correctness, and the principle of lexical and grammatical adequacy. Combined statistical data obtained in the process of experimental learning based on testing VC activities of the study guide with 215 undergraduate university students majoring in IR studies during 2022-2025 have been submitted.
