This investigative work aimed to explain the importance of Duolingo in the improvement of listening skills in students of the ninth-year at Unidad Educativa “Las Americas”. This research was based on a pre-experimental design and quantitative research method that involved a group of 28 students. Furthermore, the data was collected through a pretest and post-test. These tools were standardized tests A1 Movers (YLE) from Cambridge English to evaluate students’ listening level before and after the treatment. 6 suitable lessons were applied to integrate Duolingo with listening purposes to improve students’ skills and give them opportunities to use the target language. As for the treatment, this was developed based on three main listening stages; pre- listening, while-listening, and post-listening. In addition, students had to use Duolingo app fifteen minutes daily as asynchronous time for three weeks. The results obtained were analyzed using the SPSS statistics program, the average score in the pre-test was 2,54, contrary to the 3,37 in the post-test. The findings showed that the use of Duolingo can improve students’ listening skills and make the teaching-learning process easier and more enjoyable for them.Item M-learning (duolingo app) and the listening skills(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación-Carrera Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros, 2022-09-01) Monje Gualpa, María Consuelo; Parra Gavilánez, Lorena FernandaListening is one of the most difficult English language skills to master, hence it requires more attention and concentration than any other ability.
