Description

This study regards the role of films and songs in English language teaching. The aim of the study was to investigate how films and songs can be used as resources in the improvement of listening skills in the English language. 110 students of a primary school and a language school were instructed for a whole term and tested every month for the purposes of this research. The addition of films and songs in the experimental groups revealed significant improvement compared to the control groups. We suggest that language teachers can and should use songs and films as part of their classroom teaching plan.
