<p style="text-align:justify;">There has been an extensive research carried&nbsp;out on the role of Audio Visual Aids (AVAs) in enhancement of second language&nbsp;learners' engagement in the topic of the day to be covered in an educational&nbsp;session. This had led to the top-notch design and fruitful creation of&nbsp;I-TALK(movie session), which consists of movies and songs (jukeboxes, footages&nbsp;and movies) in addition to pre and post activities in order to boost English&nbsp;learners’ motivation to put their knowledge into practice in Safir Language&nbsp;Academy. However, the measurement with which to estimate the successful&nbsp;performance of learners typically discovered in their oral utterances based on&nbsp;the Willingness To Communicate (WTC) criterion yet to be the center of&nbsp;attention in many of pedagogical curriculum in ELT domain. Consequently, any&nbsp;built-in accessories adjacent to the course book could possibly add up to the learners'&nbsp;involvement in the lesson procedure by default, which would result in improved&nbsp;communication skills more specifically, speaking skill. Nonetheless, the WTC of&nbsp;learners has not been by any means measured thus analyzed. To conduct a&nbsp;thorough study, two classes of intermediate students, both male and female,&nbsp;each comprising of 7 learners were chosen. Furthermore, a questionnaire was&nbsp;handed out, before and after the I-TALK sessions, in order to compare the&nbsp;results. The items of the study contained the psycholinguistic criteria to&nbsp;cover the learner’s self-impression on their oral achievement, which is&nbsp;followed by the contrastive analysis, given to the results of pre and post&nbsp;I-Talk sessions .The findings demonstrated the positive, considerable change in&nbsp;the learner’s self-impression on their capabilities of communication skills&nbsp;which ultimately denoted the boost in the WTC factor</p>
