The English language learning field nowadays finds itself growing with the emerging new technologies, however it is such a wide field that small parts of it need more attention depending on who is learning the language and its context.

As a way to solve the situation this research decided to implement a technological strategy to get seventh-graders to rehearse their listening skills and subs kills looking for the contributions of a virtual learning platform to the listening rehearsal.
