Abstract:
The present study focuses on determining how the use of didactic tools influences the development of listening skills. In order to accomplish this research, it was necessary to apply a specific methodology, that is, the quantitative methodology. Through this methodology it was possible to apply a survey that helped the researcher to obtain valid data on the skill that students find more complex to master, resulting in the listening skill. Likewise, the survey made it possible to determine that students could improve their listening skills through the use of didactic tools. Finally, through the research it was possible to prove that the lack of knowledge in the students listening skills is due to the lack of practice in English classes. At this point of the research, it was fundamental to make a proposal to help students improve their listening skills. In this case, a didactic guide was proposed with different listening activities that teachers can apply to develop this skill in their students and make classes more dynamic and fun.
