This article explores the role of digital platforms in enhancing listening comprehension skills among learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). With the growing accessibility of podcasts, video-sharing platforms, language-learning applications, and interactive online resources, learners now have unprecedented opportunities to engage with authentic spoken English outside the classroom. The study discusses how these tools support the development of phonological awareness, vocabulary recognition, and overall listening fluency, while also addressing challenges such as learner autonomy, motivation, and the need for pedagogical guidance. The article concludes that digital platforms, when integrated thoughtfully into the curriculum, can significantly improve listening outcomes for EFL learners.
