Abstract
Conducted in a French private school in Chile, this action research study aims to explore the contribution of video-based listening activities from the ESL video website in supporting the listening comprehension skills for specific information of a group of 18 fifth graders. The results of a pre- and post-intervention test used to identify students’ progress indicated that the students’ English listening comprehension skills increased significantly after learning with videos. A Likert scale and focus group survey were used to analyze participants’ views towards the intervention. Their findings show that participants consider this intervention’s effectiveness positive in developing their listening comprehension skills, which supports the belief that using video-based listening activities is an effective tool to enhance students’ listening comprehension skills when learning English as a foreign language.
