Abstract The current research attempted to investigate the effect of using a suggested web-based learning program on developing EFL listening skills of the first-year secondary students. To achieve this purpose, the researchers constructed and validated a web-based learning program, a listening skills test. Using the quasi-experimental method, a randomly chosen sample of fifteen first-year secondary students at El-Botakh Secondary School was pre-tested using the listening skills test. Then they were engaged in the program. By the end of the program, they were post-tested using the same instrument utilized earlier. The results revealed that the web-based learning program was effective in developing their listening skills. These findings may serve as suggestions for English teachers who intend to benefit from web-based learning.
