Listening skills, as one of the four macro skills in language teaching, is regarded as the most difficult one by some educators. This meta-analysis, computing the data from 20 previous studies, aims at studying the effect of a technology-enhanced learning approach on English learners’ listening comprehension. It also studied the difference between the effect of different treatment types and treatment length. Data shows that the technology-enhanced learning approach help learners improve more than the traditional learning approach, CALL works better than MALL and long-term treatment have greater effect than short term one, which suggests the application of suitable learning aid as well as a longer application.
