Abstract | ||||
The present study aimed at developing EFL inferential listening comprehension skills of fourth year English section students at the faculty of specific education using podcasting technology. The researcher used two groups (control and experimental) to achieve this purpose. The participants of the study consisted of fourth year students at the faculty of specific education, in Zagazig (N=60). The study followed the two-group pre-post-test design. The inferential listening comprehension skills test was pre-administered to the two groups. The experimental group used the podcast program to develop their inferential listening comprehension skills. In addition, the control group was taught through regular instructions .Then, the test was post-administered. The t-test was used to compare the mean scores of pre-post-administrations. Results of the study revealed that the experimental group EFL students’ inferential listening comprehension skills improved significantly as a result of using the program. Therefore, it can be concluded that using the podcast program has a positive effect on developing EFL fourth year students' inferential listening comprehension skills. | ||||
