I would like to summarry about Enhancing Listening Skills through Movie
Clips on YouTube, this journal tells us about the way to improve the listening
comprehension by using movie clips on the youtube. So the sample and population
in this research were 78 third-year students from the Business
Administration Faculty enrolled in English Conversation course in Thailand. In this
research the students can watch the movie as many time as they wishes and then
the research did the research after the students watch the movie clip on the Youtube. In addition, one questionnaire was given after each clip and another
given at the end of the five week project to determine students' attitudes
towards their experience in using the YouTube clips. Results indicate overall positive
attitudes towards using the clips to supplement classroom instruction. The majority
of students strongly or slightly agreed that watching English movie and TV clips
was more useful than using a textbook CD and that the clips helped them to improve
their listening skills and better to understand vocabulary and phrases used by native
speakers. However, some students needed to watch the clips more than five times
to finish the task. When the researcher analyzing the students' perceptions of each
movie and TV clip as well as their general viewing preferences, it can be seen
that students were most engaged by clips from comedies and least by clips from
dramas.
In conclusion, using movie clips on the youtube is
really help students in improving their listening comprehension and also beside
they can increase the listening it can also give new information for them. And also
using movie clips is the strategy to teach listening with fun way, because they
can also see the speaker on the movie then they just listen to radio or etc.
