In the experiment, three major points were investigated: 1) The investigation of the influence of utilizing web-based listening activities on the skill of listening for details outcomes of the first-year non-major students at Namdinh University of Technology Education (NUTE); 2) The students’ opinions and attitudes towards the application of web-based listening activities in their listening self-study; 3) The difficulties students have during the process of self-study. The suggested websites were tested with a group of 20 first-year non-major students at NUTE. Students were asked to take the pretest and posttest and answer a questionnaire.
