Abstract: The paper presents an experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using English movie clips to enhance the listening ability of Thai university students and students' attitude toward their English lessons after learning through movie clips instruction. The study employed the English listening test and the attitude questionnaire as the main researh instruments for data collection. The participants involved in the study were sixty first-year students enrolled in English for Everyday Use course at Rajamagala University of Technology Krungthep. Two classes were randomly assigned in the experimental group and learned English through movie clips; while the other class, the control group, learned English with conventional teaching methods. The results clearly revealed that there were significant positive differences in the achievement of listening ability and attitudes toward learning listening through the English movie clips of students before and after the experiment and between those two groups.
