The study uses a mixed-method approach that combines qualitative and quantitative data analysis to examine the perceptions of 21 Saudi students and 7 English teachers. The study shows exciting patterns in how students feel about film-based learning and how this method helps them improve their listening skills, such as becoming more familiar with different accents and dialects. Additionally, it captures teachers' views on the pedagogical benefits and challenges of using films in language instruction. Findings suggest that movies are a valuable tool in language education, offering a dynamic approach to learning that aligns with the practical demands of understanding and engaging with English in a globalised context. The study provides evidence-based recommendations for incorporating multimedia tools into language learning curricula, highlighting the opportunity for creative instructional strategies in Saudi Arabian educational settings.50enEnglishLinguisticsListening SkillsEducationTeachingMoviesClass RoomsAn Investigation into the Efficacy of Incorporating Movies in Classrooms for Enhancing English Listening Skills Proficiency of Saudi StudentsThesis
