Abstract

Among four language skills, it is well known that listening comprehension plays a very important role in foreign language teaching, especially with young learners. And in the era of 4.0 technology, applying internet in teaching listening skills is necessary. The application of internet-assisted learning in teaching English at Advanced Education Program at National Economics University is still limited and needs more thorough studies. Therefore, the researchers would like to conduct a research into the use of this teaching and learning approach to the development of English listening skills for first year students of Advanced Education Program (AEP) at National Economics University. Importantly and interestingly, the study focuses on analyzing their satisfaction and performance when applying internet in teaching listening skills. From the investigation and analysis, suggestions would be given to teachers and students to enhance the use of internet so as to increase students’ satisfaction and performance in listening lessons.
