Using online services for the development of listening skills in future foreign language teachers

This study examines the effectiveness of online services in developing listening skills and enhancing motivation to learn foreign languages among university students training to become future teachers. Using an experimental and longitudinal design, the research evaluated changes in listening comprehension in control and experimental groups through standardized tests, structured interviews, and the Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB). Results revealed statistically significant improvements in all listening indicators within the experimental group, as well as increased motivation and reduced anxiety levels. A strong correlation between motivation and listening development was observed. The findings suggest that digital tools such as TED Talks and BBC Learning English can effectively support traditional language instruction, especially when integrated with adaptive pedagogical approaches. Future research should explore long-term impacts and the use of immersive technologies in language education.
