The target audience was 70 English studies majors who had undergone listening courses. Data collection methods included a questionnaire and interviews conducted with eight students. A questionnaire was utilized to gather quantitative data, while interviews provided qualitative insights. The study was also to identify students' difficulties in this regard, with the ultimate goal of proposing solutions to enhance the effectiveness of utilizing English movies in listening skill development strategies.
