The present study aimed at exploring the possible effect of pedagogical films on the improvement of listening skills of Iranian EFL female and male learners. The study specifically investigated whether pedagogical films could be regarded as an improvement means in language education. In this regard, fifty EFL learners from Pouyandegan Language Institute in Abadan were selected. Learners were randomly divided into experimental (N=25) and control (N=25) groups. The experimental group watched pedagogical films while control ones listened to audio CDs of those films. Interchange Objective Placement Test was administrated as pre- and post-test to check the possible listening improvement between and among the groups. After collecting data, independent and paired sample t-tests were run to analyze data. The findings of the study revealed that experimental learners significantly outperformed as compared with control groups in their listening achievements. However, there were no significant differences between female and male learners’ listening skills. The findings of the study suggest that using the pedagogical films can promote EFL learners’ language ability of listening skills.
