N2 - Teaching listening comprehension is one of the most difficult tasks for English teachers and for students, because there are no rules as in grammar teaching. This study explored to what extent students enhance listening comprehension through movie segments and what their attitudes are towards this teaching tool. A total of 64 students and two English teachers were surveyed. Interviews were used to know student's positive and negative opinions towards the strategy. Clearly, using movies proved to be an effective way for students to improve their listening ability. Most learners improved listening skills and gained more than vocabulary, understood more foreign culture, felt relaxed and had fun while learning in class. ER -
