Given its historically undervalued role in language development, educators and language specialists promote equal or emphasized enhancement of listening among students. Multimedia provides L2 learners with access to visual and aural texts through audio, video, the Internet, podcasts, and blogs. This approach supports understanding of L2 in everyday contexts and is further linked to Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) as an effective means of developing listening skills.

Pupils who are able to demonstrate L2 listening skills are able to demonstrate proficiency in other language skills. Due to the relatively unappreciated role of listening in language development, educators and language experts have been actively promoting the equal or emphasized enhancement of listening skills among students . Through multimedia, L2 speakers are provided access to several visual and aural L2 texts via audio, video, the Internet, podcasts, blogs and others .  \nThe use of multimedia in listening instrument aims to ultimately assist L2 learners in understanding L2 within the everyday context.  \nThe use of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) programmes have been heralded as effective means of developing and enhancing language skills among L2 learners .  \nHowever, listening skill teaching has been a neglected area . There has been a general belief that being able to speak, read and write in a given L2, is a parameter to be able to claim that L2 learners are proficient in communication in that language . In view of this assumption, many L2 teachers have ignored the true importance that listening has as a source or oral input from which L2 speakers can acquire the target language .  \nKeywords: listening, enhancement, multimedia technology  \n60  \nS.Sejdiu  \nDigital Education Review-Number 32, December 2017-[http://greav.ub.edu/der/](http://greav.ub.edu/der/)  \nI. Introduction  \nListening comprehension is considered as an active process whereby individuals tend to change words into thought with the aim of creating a meaning from the passage . Listening comprehension tends to have a long history, from the readings of analog, phonograph, through the era of the audio tape, and into the realm of digital (Wagner, 2007) .  \nWith new technologies appearance, including their influences on people’s life aspects and education, language learning and teaching seems to have entered a new area . CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) and listening comprehension L2 skill training stand considered bound together for good (Vandergrift, 2007) .  \nListening comprehension could be viewed as a crucial language skill which learners of language need to develop. Moreover, all other language skills’ development becomes interwoven with listening skills. This stands said to be within language learning in both first and second instances (Vandergrift, 1999) . Language learning tends to rely on listening. It also tends to play a fundamental role in the acquisition of language, making it possible for an oral interaction between the learners (Smidt & Hegelheimer, 2004) . It tends to provide the foundation for all language acquisition/learning facets and plays a long-life role in the communication process . This paper, thereby, intends to outline several impacts of multimedia technology on the development of L2 listening skills (Rubin, 2011) .  \na. Language Skills  \nIn language acquisition, there are four skills; speaking, listening, writing, reading. In language acquisition of L1, the first developed skills tend to be speaking and listening, while, in L2, these two have become difficult to learn (Rubin, 1990) . During the past, large classes including lacking the opportunity of listening to the language meant, an underdevelopment of oral communication compared to writing and reading. Making the EFL learning materials more engaging and rounded tends to be the introduction of CDs, cassettes and tapes (Jones, 2003) .  \nUse of Aided Computer Language Learning (CALL) and multimedia, now mean that there can be an equal development of listening skills, alongside writing and reading (Rost, 1990) .
