It is well known that listening comprehension plays a key role in foreign language teaching, especially with young learners (Anderson & Lynch, 1988; Brewster, 1994; Brown, 1986, 1989; Grabielatos, 1995; Phillips, 1993; Rost, 1990; Shorrocks, 1994). Listening is assuming a more and more important place in foreign language teaching and learning process. Yet the present situation is far from satisfactory. Students are still frustrated and helpless against listening. (Yang, 2005) Many of the activities of our contemporary society are based on information (and possible operations) made available through the World Wide Web. Practical information, images, presentations, sale catalogues, booking and reservations, selling - 2 and buying are exchanged, purchased, activated through the web (or find their vehicle in the web). The World Wide Web (WWW) is the future in teaching and learning. Listening in language learning has undergone several important stages, from being assumed that acquisition through exposure but not really taught (Richard, 2002) to be viewed as a primary vehicle for language learning (Rost, 2001). During the decades, developments in education, linguistics and sociology have led to the powerful theories of the nature of language comprehension and the active interest in the role of listening comprehension in second language acquisition. There are many activities to practice listening through internet such as watching educational English programs on TV, going to the English Corner, running a campus broadcasting station, joining in an English Summer Camp, traveling to English speaking countries, chatting with foreigners via the Internet are all helpful ways to practice listening skills.
