Investigating the effectiveness of adapting Film-based technique during improve their Oral Communicative CompetenceListening Sessions, on Developing Students Listening Skills as a way to :Case Study : first Year LMD Students of English at Béjaia University

Abstract

Throughout conducting this research, we have observed that the first year students’ of English at the University of Bejaia listening skills are poor which hamper their oral communicative competence. Thus, we have hypothesized the use of films as a teaching technique during listening sessions,in order to develop those students’ listening skills as a way to improve their oral communicative abilities .The primary objective of this research is to prove that theimple mentation of film-based technique during listening sessions will be an effective and motivating way to develop the students’ listening skills as a way to improve their oral communicative abilities. To this effect, we have opted for the use of the experimental method to treat the research problem .The research participants who are fourteen in number were divided into two groups of seven students each; an experimental group on which film-based grids were used twice with both groups at the beginning and at the end of the experiment, to diagnose students’ listening level before and after the implementation of the teaching technique .
