The current study aims to explore the students' attitudes towards the use of filmbased technique during listening session to improve their communicative competence. The work is mainly concerned with motivating the use of films during the listening sessions and raising the amount of interest given to the listening skill. It also attempts to shed light on the importance of the modern functional view of language through the focus on improving the students' communicative competence and define it as the ultimate goal of the process of learning/teaching language. The basic hypothesis adopted in this study sets out that if teachers of listening credit adapt film-based technique during their sessions, then the students' listening skills may be developed; therefore, their oral communicative competence could be improved. The method of this research is quite correlational. The data were gathered through self-completion questionnaires administered to first-year License students at the University of Jijel. The results have shown that film-based technique is very adequate for developing listening skills as way to improve communicative competence. On the basis of these results, the hypothesis was confirmed in that students need to be provided with an advantageous technique to achieve the communicative competence sought
