For many of the students listening in target language is a&nbsp;challenging task. Extensive listening aims to get the learners listen and enjoy&nbsp;it. To improve the listening fluency, extensive listening is one of the&nbsp;functional and practical ways thanks to easy and interesting materials.&nbsp;Extensive listening encourages the learners to get fluent in a qualified way.&nbsp;The main value in extensive listening is to allow the students’ self-selection&nbsp;and the decision of how to spend time effectively to improve their listening&nbsp;skill in the target language. 6 Turkish learners of English were the&nbsp;participants of this study; and they completed worksheets after each listening&nbsp;activity for 5 weeks in the spring term of 2018-2019 academic year in the prep&nbsp;school of a state school.
