FL/SL courses are now being part of school curriculum, and the teaching of phonetics and pronunciation has also become a priority for researchers and educationalists. As a method for learners, instructors are now using audio-visual aids and technologies to facilitate the assimilation of native speakers' pronunciation. These are using several strategies and techniques when speaking. English suprasegmentals, including aspects of connected speech, remain daunting tasks for FL/SL learners. The study aims at highlighting the ieffect of clipped films/videos for student at Larbi Ben M'hidi university to grasp the various connected speech aspects. Once acquired, the latter would help greatly not only to comprehend native speakers' discourse, but to enjoy the method of learning them. To achieve such an aim, a quasi-experiment has been designed where two groups, an experimental and a control group, have been set up. Randomly selected, the experimental group not only underwent a pre-test and a post-test along with the control group, but went through a 4-week- period of treatment. The obtained results reveal that the integration of clipped movie sequences in the classroom had a significant impact on boosting student's comprehension of native speakers' speech. In addition, students' assimilation of natives' speech was substantially affected positively.enAudio-visual technologieClipped movie sequenceConnected speech aspectOther
