Abstract :

Students want to foster Listening in English, there are various efforts that are often made. In this context, one technique that can be applied to determine students’ listening skills is through English Cinemas. This method leads students to fun learning. Not only watching a cinema but also being able to know how to pronounce a sentence delivered directly by a native speaker (Native Speaker).

This study uses a pre-experimental design with pre- and post-testing. The Pre-test, treatment, and Post-test are all completed by the students. Students in second grade at Junior High School 8 Parepare for the 2022–2023 academic year make up the population of this study. Students in class VIII.1, which included 22 students, served as the study’s subjects.

The study’s findings showed that the mean post-test score for students was higher than the mean pre-test score for students, which was 40.00, at 78.18. For significant levels (α = 0.05), and (df = 21), as well as the T-table value = 1.721, while the T-test = 6.85. In other words, the T-test value (6.85 > 1.721) is higher than the T-table value. So, there is a significant difference between the T-test scores and the T-table scores after being treated using English Cinemas to foster students’ listening skills.
