Abstract: Listening as a language skill is not simply hearing of aural stimuli but is an active process of receiving aural as well as visual stimuli attentively followed by comprehension and retention of the message or intention of the speaker. But in a country like India where majority of the learners in most parts of the country learn and listen to English as second or Foreign language, the training for such a vital language skill is rare. Learners in any level of their education are rarely exposed to English outside the English classroom and are likely to have more difficulty when listening to ‘unstructured spontaneous communication in English. An effective solution to this serious problem is to adopt a more humanistic approach in the English language classrooms and develop their listening skills effectively in classroom through popular animation films in English, so that, they may get that required confidence and ambiance to listen and speak English to their classmates and teachers. In this study, we have made a detailed discussion on the importance of listening skills and how to develop it among the learner in the classroom through popular animation films.
