A Proposed ESP Program for Developing Listening Skills of Delta University Students

This research focused on assessing the impacts of a proposed English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program, based on ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) instructional model, on enhancing Delta University students' Listening Comprehension Skills. Employing a quasi-experimental methodology, this research involved forty first-year students from the Faculty of Medicine at Delta University. The instruments employed in this research included a pretest and posttest for EFL Listening Comprehension, alongside a Listening Comprehension Skills Checklist meticulously designed by the researcher. The experimental treatment was conducted during the second semester of the academic year 2023/2024. Results demonstrated that those exposed to the experimental module exhibited superior performance in post administration as a consequence of the experimental treatment. These results endorse the efficacy of the proposed program in sharpening EFL Listening Comprehension Skills among students. It is advocated that future ESP resources be developed adhering to the ADDIE Instructional Model to enhance listening comprehension and other language skills.
