    This research was conducted in an online educational environment, specifically with the sixth-semester course of Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros at Universidad Técnica de Ambato with a total of 28 students. The focus of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the Lyrics Training website on listening skills. For this purpose an experimental study was used which was carried out by applying a pre and post-test to all students, this test was taken from Cambridge PET exam B1 for the evaluation of listening skills in order to obtain results on the level of listening skill of the students before and after the treatment. As for the treatment, this was developed based on the three main stages of listening to a lesson, i.e., this began with the pre-listening stage, then proceeded with the listening stage and finally the post-listening stage was applied, using Lyrics Training activities during this process. For this purpose, 14 students were taken into account, which would be the experimental group and would be part of the treatment based on the use of Lyrics Training, while the remaining 14 students would be the control group and would not be part of the treatment. The intervention with the students for the application of the treatment lasted 2 weeks with a total of 5 class sessions. Additionally, a survey was administered in order to know the students' perception of using Lyrics Training in class to improve their listening skills. Finally, data analysis was performed using the paired samples t-test. The results showed that the use of Lyrics Training was effective in improving students' listening skills.
