To arrive to the best results possible, a focus group of five college students who were interested in improving their English proficiency was formed. Following the brainstorming technique, they created a questionnaire of six multiple choice, checkbox, rating, and scale questions which was reviewed by three experts and piloted on 30 students, improved accordingly, created by Google Forms, and finally distributed via WhatsApp groups. College students who were interested in improving their English-speaking proficiency and used to listen to and/or watch English media were requested to respond to the questionnaire. A sample of 65 college students’ responses were received and the data was analyzed by Google Forms.
