This study analyzes the use of virtual environments to improve the listening skills of students of English as a foreign language (EFL) from a quantitative approach. To achieve this goal, one hundred participants enrolled in a free English course using a platform with H5p activities, videos, quizzes, images, infographics, audio, forum, and synchronous Zoom sessions for four weeks, in addition to a KET test for the assessment of listening comprehension. Quantitative data were analyzed by comparing the mean scores of the pretest, posttest as well as the logs of the platform. Analyses confirm the benefits of applying ICT tools to develop listening skills. All subskills of the listening sections were benefited from the interactivity displayed in the online activities. The current study reinforces the notion of interactive online activities as motivators to improve listening comprehension in EFL.
