This research explores how watching movies can serve as an effective tool in improving students' listening abilities in a second language. Movies expose students to natural, conversational speech and a wide range of accents, vocabulary, and cultural contexts. By engaging with visual and auditory elements simultaneously, learners can enhance both their comprehension and retention of spoken language. The study also highlights the benefits of movies in providing authentic language exposure, fostering motivation, and creating a more enjoyable and immersive learning environment. Ultimately, the research underscores the potential of movies as a powerful resource for boosting listening skills in language acquisition.
