This study investigates the effectiveness of video materials in enhancing the listening comprehension skills of high school students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). It highlights the theoretical foundations, practical strategies, and benefits of using video materials in classrooms. By analyzing recent literature and implementing a methodological approach, the research examines the
impact of authentic video content, such as movies, TV shows, and educational videos, on students' listening abilities. The findings suggest that integrating video resources fosters engagement, improves comprehension, and enhances vocabulary acquisition.
Challenges, such as selecting appropriate materials and overcoming technical barriers, are also discussed. The study emphasizes the role of teachers in curating and employing videos to meet the diverse needs of learners and concludes with recommendations for
maximizing the pedagogical benefits of video-based instruction.
