Abstract
This paper suggests an approach to creating listening texts based on movie content. When a teacher wants to use a movie script as authentic material, they are faced with the problem of the choice of movie text. Although they may select an interesting movie with a good script, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be suitable for language learning. A specific movie suitable for the object of language study is necessary. If a teacher wants to focus on improving the listening ability of his/her students, a movie text has to be constructed with this objective in mind. This study shows an approach for constructing a text suitable for developing listening ability using movie content. The text focuses on six listening strategies - inference, outlining, directed attention, predicting, task recycling, monitoring. Included are listening activities such as vocabulary preview, culture, main topic, key words, 5W+1H, content word activity, predicting, cloze completion, vocabulary check-out, expression check-out, noun phrase & verb phrase check-out. A text using these kinds of strategies has high authenticity. More professional texts need to be more actively developed suitable for all aspects of language learning: speaking, listening, writing, and reading.
