Incorporating IT, knowledge and practice must be an essence of teaching listening in EFL classroom setting. The power of Internet influence on students’ learning seems to be a crucial approach to the EFL teaching as it will provide the learners with fun, easy access, motivating and interesting learning material. Furthermore, within Internet learning resources, the learners will obtain a wide range of updated knowledge and information. Therefore, the students will acquire listening skills; be self-motivated on doing repetitive practices; do voluntary self-correction, and get further boost of knowledge. As listening ability plays a vital role in interpreting oral information or communication acquired from English speaking and pronunciation, helping the EFL learners with Internet Technology (IT) learning resources help is worthy. Notwithstanding, listening skill seems simple and many times is considered as a passive but challenging activity. However, it is obvious that students, especially in Tanjungpura University, face a wide range of problems hindering their ability to negotiate the meaning retrieved from the listening activity. Problem besides listening anxiety, self de-motivation, lack vocabulary, passive learning style and limited learning resources are the major factors affecting students’ in improving and enchanting their listening skill. Therefore, this study aims to address the problems faced by the listening classroom by using IT resources in order to facilitate the students’ learning with interesting and authentic-text or resources.
