Abstract. Podcasts have emerged as an innovative tool in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly in enhancing listening comprehension skills. This study explores the effectiveness of podcasts in improving EFL learners’ listening abilities by integrating them into regular language instruction. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze learners’ performance and perceptions before and after podcast-based listening training. The findings indicate that podcasts contribute to increased exposure to authentic language input, improved comprehension skills, and enhanced learner motivation. This study highlights the pedagogical benefits of incorporating podcasts into EFL curricula and provides recommendations for educators on effective implementation strategies
