One of the main natures of learning English as a Foreign Language is lack of exposure to the language. Both EFL learners and teachers in Indonesia face such nature. Besides, in Indonesian formal English language education, the teachers are facing several challenges. On the one hand, the teachers have to stick to the national demand for the language learning: genre based instruction and communicative competence. On the other hand, they have to deal with insufficient learning facilities and their language ability to bring about learners to speak/listen which may be “painful”. Reports and studies have shown that English teachers are struggling to survive lack of learning facilities, not to mention facilities to teach listening comprehension. Many teachers are also entrapped with their inability to provide better exposure for the students toward the language.

The Internet which provides hundreds of both ELT based and non ELT based websites which are available at hand almost everywhere around the world including Indonesia. It presents some techniques to compile internet listening materials in a listening box for students and teachers as supplementary materials to increase listening time towards listening comprehension. The materials are coming in different levels of difficulties, topics, even genres the teachers already prepared.
