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.
