Description

This study examines learners’ perceptions of integrating BBC News videos into TOEIC instruction. Building on previous classroom research, it analyzes learner feedback and evaluates the pedagogical effectiveness of using authentic news content for CEFR A2-B1 learners. Post-course surveys and qualitative data assess motivation, linguistic development, and practical application. Findings suggest improvements not only in listening skills and vocabulary retention but also in awareness of current affairs, which in turn prepares learners for future societal engagement.
