PROMOTING LISTENING COMPREHENSION IN INTERMEDIATE EFL LEARNERS: INTEGRATING DIGITAL TOOLS AND COURSEBOOK MATERIALS

Creating engaging and meaningful activities is a fundamental aspect of effective language teaching, as they encourage active participation and sustained learner motivation. With the increasing availability of online tools, teachers have more opportunities to foster creativity and promote interactive learning. This article focuses on developing listening skills in English as a foreign language (EFL) learners, recognizing that many students are already exposed to English through media such as films, songs, and video games. Building on the framework proposed by Vlachos (2020), this study explores how learners enhance listening comprehension similarly to native speakers while contending with cultural and linguistic differences. Listening is integrated with reading, writing, and speaking activities around the contemporary topic of vegetarianism versus meat-eating, aiming to engage students through relevant and socially meaningful content.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0931/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
