globalization, and in this transition, the English language has been playing a prominent role So, many people in the world whose mother tongue is not English have been trying to master the skills of the English language Currently, many people tend to love and choose the method of learning English through movies In particular, this is also a way of self-studying English selected by many students at Hanoi University of Business and Technology (HUBT) This article aims to find out the positive effects that watching movies brings in improving students' English speaking and listening skills at HUBT In addition, the study also pointed out some difficulties that students may encounter and suggested some solutions to help self-study English through movie viewing more effectively To conduct the study 100 students from K23, K24 in HUBT participated in this survey research A questionnaire survey is employed to collect data for the research The findings indicated that many students at HUBT are aware that they can improve their listening and speaking skills by watching English movies They also think watching English movies has a more direct influence on listening skill compared to speaking skill Besides, subtitles also can help respondents to understand English conversation in the movies more effectively From the above results, it can be concluded that learning English through movies has supported motivation to the learning process of HUBT students in particular and English learners, in general, become interesting, effective, and successful Keywords: English listening and speaking

growing globalized economy, English has become a common language that brings countries together So, it is not uncommon for English to become a global language that everyone must learn and master Among the four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking, the two last one is being paid the most attention Due to the geographical distance as well as the difficulties in the teaching and learning environment that many schools, many students have not had the opportunity to contact with real English and practice these two skills Therefore, learning English through movie viewing has become an easy, convenient and effective option For them, English movies are more suitable as they provide the real-time experience of learning the English language It is also one of the top choices for many students at Hanoi University of Business and Technology (HUBT) to improve their listening and speaking skills Nowadays, phones, laptops, or tablets have become indispensable tools in the life and learning process of students at HUBT With these devices, they can easily search, watch movies, share and download videos to watch over and over again in their spare time Besides, for students in HUBT, developing listening and speaking skills is very important because it is the foundation to accumulate vocabulary, grammar as well as cultural knowledge Then, they can improve their writing and reading skills To achieve such results, viewing frequency and genre selection is some of the key factors influencing this Hence, for many people, watching movies is not only for entertainment purposes, but it has a very positive impact on their English learning process Being aware of the importance of this, the researcher decided to conduct a study entitled: “A study on the effects TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat of movie viewing on learning English to develop listening and speaking skills of students at Hanoi University of Business and Technology” Aims and objectives of the study This study is aimed at finding out how students at HUBT are getting benefit from watching English movies to advance their listening and speaking skills Also, the paper suggests some recommendations to help their learning process become more effective Research questions This study aims to answer the following questions: What are the benefits students get when learning English through movie viewing to improve their listening and speaking skills? What are some useful solutions that help them improve their English listening and speaking skills? The scope of the study Due to the researcher’s limitation of time and ability, this study only focuses on listening and speaking skills through the survey questionnaires piloted to one group of 100 students from K23, K24 in HUBT to investigate the benefits students get when learning English through movie viewing as well as find out solutions to improve their listening and speaking skills Design of the study The study consists of three main parts: Part 1: Introduces the aim and objectives of the study, and the methodology used to conduct this paper Part 2: Development Chapter 1: Literature Review TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat Problems in lacking contextual knowledge: Understanding the context and mutual knowledge will help learners listen and communicate more easily Sometimes listeners can understand the literal meaning of a conversation, but they have difficulty in understanding the figurative meaning of a paragraph or a talk unless they have experienced it or are familiar with it Problems in adapting to new learning methods: Most students are learning English with old habits and learning methods So, when approaching a new learning method as learning English through movies, they are still confused and have not fully exploited the benefits of this Hence, proactive and persistent are two essential factors 3.2.3 Some recommendations for learning English listening and speaking skills through movies 26 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat In the learning process, students should learn words and phrases while watching movies by taking notes, then practising them in specific contexts, or imagining using these words in the same context for longer memorization Besides, students should remember a key point that “ IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD, DON’T WORRY!” A good practice that many experts always recommend is not to focus too much on single words If you don’t understand every word in a sentence, it doesn’t matter The important thing is that you understand the general meaning of what the actors are saying Moreover, for students who are at quite a low English level, they should choose short films (about 15 to 30 minutes) with the character's lines are slow, easy to hear and understand However, if you have a higher level of English, you can try to challenge yourself and watch films with more advanced language Furthermore, to most effectively study through movies, students should choose the movies associated with daily life such as comedy, romance, cartoon I highly recommend for students to watch movies on sites like Netflix, FPT because these sites are a huge database of movies, they also have very good subtitles and movie quality If you want to watch movies on free platforms, youtube is not a bad choice, but you also need to choose channels with good content As for movies, I suggest you watch the series Friends, Pixar, Ice ages These are very interesting and fun movies with content close to everyday life At the same time, watching movies many times (minimum of times) with subtitles and no subtitles is necessary Because this will help you advance your English listening and speaking skills better 3.3 Summary of the chapter In conclusion, chapter has given readers the positive effects that learning English through movies brings in students, especially in improving their 27 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat speaking and listening skills Besides, from the questionnaire and collected data, the researcher also pointed out some difficulties that students may encounter in using this new learning method But those problems can be completely overcome if learners have enough determination, perseverance, and diligence In addition, the paper also suggests some solutions with the hope that they can help students partially solve the difficulties they are facing when learning English through movies Finally, the findings as shown explicitly throughout the chapter indicate that the study has been done validly and has enabled the researcher to answer the two research questions PART C: CONCLUSION 28 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat This part will deal with a summary of the major findings, limitations of the study, and some suggestions for further studies Recapitulation Overall, this entire study has provided an overview from a specific angle about the effects of movie viewing on learning English to develop the listening and speaking skills of students at Hanoi University of Business and Technology According to the finding, all the participants agreed that they received positive results from learning English through movie viewing The main benefits that can be mentioned are improving listening skills through daily English conversations with close content; improving pronunciation skills; learning and using many new words in the right contexts as well as learn how to express emotions, gestures through motion pictures in the movies to communicate more naturally and fluently In addition, learning English through movies can support the motivation of the students and helps them learn about the cultures of Englishspeaking countries (like American, British, Canada, Australia…) and be exposed to different accents, dialects that learners may encounter in reality Besides, students believe that they can improve the listening and speaking skills by watching English movies Based on the data analysis, the researcher has found out that watching English movies has a more direct influence on listening skill compared to speaking skill On the other hand, the paper has pointed out some problems that students will encounter in their learning process such as limited vocabulary, difficulty in approaching and absorbing new learning methods, lacking contextual knowledge as well as choosing unsuitable movie genres From the negative factors that affect students' learning process, the researcher has proposed some solutions for them Firstly, students need to take 29 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat note of new words, phrases and make sentences, then practice them in specific contexts to remember longer Secondly, learners should not focus too much on single words, students would try to put them in context to understand the meaning of the whole video Those, who are at low English levels, should choose short films with easy-to-hear dialogue Researchers also advise students to choose movies such as comedy, romance, cartoons and watch them on platforms like Netflix, youtube, FPT, Moreover, the learner had better watch the movie at least times with subtitles so as not to miss any proverbs, intonation, or slang It is undeniable that English has become a language for global communication Thus, mastering English skills becomes an urgent and important task, especially for students The researcher hopes that HUBT students will try and spend more time on the method of learning English through movie viewing to achieve good results in the learning process as well as improve their listening and speaking skills Limitation of the study Although the researcher has made a considerable effort to complete the study, there are still some unavoidable limitations beyond expectation Due to time deficiency, sources restriction, and the researcher’s limited experience, the study still has some shortcomings Firstly, the researcher initially tends to combine questionnaires with interviews or observation so that the findings are more varied and convincing However, due to the lack of time and some incidents when contacting and making appointments with the intended classes, the survey is carried out only with questionnaires Secondly, the time allowed to implement this research topic is limited, so the study cannot cover all aspects of the field and only focus on the most typical ones Thirdly, this study just stops at the research scope of the influence of watching movies on the English learning 30 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat process of students at HUBT In short, the researcher hopes that future studies in the same field will consider those limitations to become more complete and high- appreciated All the constructive comments and contributions for this study will be positively welcomed Suggestion for further study Considering all the above limitations, it is advised for further study that other researchers should assess the link between students’ attitudes and their communication skills along with watching movies To enhance the effectiveness of the skill communication, they should also pay more attention to factors that facilitate students' learning, confidence, and communication skill A survey or interview will make the research more interesting and complete Also, other researchers should expand the scope of the study, not only for students at HUBT but also for students at other universities in Hanoi city such as National Economics University, Hanoi Open University, Thang Long University, REFERENCES 31 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat123@gmail.com moi nhat Bentley, S (1996) The All Neuv, State-of-the-Art ILA Definition of Listening: Nou That We Have It, What Do We Do With It?
