carried out a study with an authentic soap opera to measure whether it can increase students listening comprehension and enhance their oral production. For his research, he used a control group and experimental group. The experiment was conducted in two second-semester Spanish classes for 8 weeks at the University of New Mexico. All students took pre- and post-treatment tests. Both groups followed the established curriculum for second-semester Spanish. However, the experimental group was supplemented by watching two episodes of a Spanish soap opera per week. Before viewing each episode, the teacher gave the participants a short summery in English of the telenovela. At the end of the study, the results of the experiment suggested that telenovelas are a valuable source in increasing the students’ listening comprehension skills.
