| Abstract | In this study the effect of frequent exposure to authentic visual materials on Iranian EFL learners' listening comprehension ability was investigated. In order to conduct the study, 60 Iranian intermediate students were selected out of a pool of 300, based on their result in a placement test. The selected participants were randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control, each containing 30 participants. The listening ability of the participants was tested by a pretest before starting of the treatment and no significant difference was observed. After a period of two months, in which the experimental group received treatment of exposure to authentic visual material, a posttest was administrated and the scores obtained from two groups were compared using a t-test. It was observed that the experimental group that received the treatment achieved significantly better scores. It was concluded that frequent exposure to authentic videos has a positive impact on improvement of learners' listening ability. |
