With the advent of new technology, pod-cast has brought opportunity to education and training, in particular through on-line instruction. Pod-cast dedicates itself as a powerful audio tool for practicing listening in terms of more portable and more accessible. This work-in-progress study aims to facilitate the development of students’ English listening skill with pod-cast. By doing so, the paper contributes to the knowledge based of pod-cast effectiveness and raises the question of evaluation a new teaching methodology. Undergraduates are participants for listening activities in the study. The findings of the first phase in this study showed that most of students were less-skilled in English listening. To improve the listening skill, they agreed that on-line materials motivated them in practicing English listening, especially when pod-cast was firstly implemented and used for facilitating English listening. Through the use of pod-cast, learners were familiar with authentic sound and real world circumstances, and that yielded positive results in facilitating their listening skills.
