Listening comprehension plays an important role in language learning and teaching process, especially in English Language Teaching (ELT) reform. Students at the University of Transport Technology, with low English language proficiency, usually encounter difficulties in learning this receptive skill, especially when they have to get at least 450 score of TOEIC test. To devote a contribution, the study was carried out in the form of a quasi-experiment research project. The findings revealed that students made positive changes in their academic results, their attitude towards listening skill as well as pre-listening activities. On this basis, some implications for teachers’ professional development, classroom practices and future research were proposed.
