Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ low level of linguistic proficiency has raised many concerns about English teaching and learning in most EFL countries. Although many studies   have  been  conducted  to  promote  students’  level  of  linguistic  proficiency,  the majority of  these studies were conducted in an ESL/EFL context in- class. Consequently, few attempts have been  taken to promote students’ level of  linguistic proficiency out of class. To contribute to that,  this study tried through a mixedmethods/case study design to answer the overarching research  question; ‘How do Jordanian EFL students perceive their level of linguistic proficiency, and is  there a wayof helping these students improve their oral  communication  proficiency  out  of   class?’  To  answer  that,  60  EFL  students  were selected  to  participate  in  the   quantitative  phase  and  six  to  participate  in  the  qualitative phase. The quantitative data  was collected by means of self-assessment test, and a survey questionnaire. While, the qualitative  data was collected by means of interview and study notes. To examine the effect of movieson oral  proficiency, the six subjects were divided equally into two groups (treatment and control) and  asked to take the self-assessment test twice (pre and post) to be interviewed also twice, and to  fill in the study notes during the case study’s scheme. Only the treatment group was given eight  movies with its guides and asked to self-studyit over eight weeks. The findings showed that more  than the half of the students (38 students; 63.3 %), rated their linguistic proficiency below  average with the majority ofthem (49 students; 81.6 %) showing their lack of confidence in using  English. The findings also indicated that movie could help improve the students' oral communication  proficiency with higher post-test scores than pre-test scores. Methodologicaltriangulation from  both the interviews and the study notes also supports that assertion.In conclusion, self-directed   learning  using  movies  has  improved  the  students’  oral  communication proficiency. This study  has implications for practical applications in language teaching and learning  which  suggests   that  using  movies  in  self-directed  learning  can  be  effective  to improve linguistic  proficiency out of class. The results strongly suggest that further larger scale investigations  into students' language improvement out of class should be carried out to get more comprehensive data.
