Also, a questionnaire was administered to first year English students at the departments of foreign language field of English University of Biskra. Twelve volunteers have participated in the experiments, while a 24 students have answered the questionnaire. The results of the study revealed that listening to native speakers lectures has a positive impact on English pronunciation skills among EFL learners.
