This study investigated the effectiveness of using multimedia (i.e., animations with subtitles) in developing the English language listening skills of Saudi intermediate female students. The study adopted the non-equivalent group design employing two groups: experimental group (two intact classes, n=39) and control group (one intact class, n=33). After the experiment, both groups were examined using the listening skills achievement test. Results from ANCOVA tests indicated that multimedia is highly effective in developing the listening skills of intermediate students in comparison with the audio recordings. (Published abstract)
