    Listening is an active process of understanding by activating various kinds of knowledge. As it is part of the language skills in communication, it needs to be developed by the application of some effective strategies like podcast. In contrasting with this some students might feel that developing listening skills is difficult to reach due to the traditional teaching method where the student is a passive learner and the teacher is the central part in the teaching-learning process. The statement all the over expressed got to be a solid reason to create this investigate work so that made extremely necessary to come up with a solution to this problem. In this sense, the author stated that the students from Ninth Year of EGB can develop their English listening skills by incorporating podcasts combined with the update techniques and strategies focused on communicative approach. Therefore, the objective of the following researching work is to demonstrate the influence of the podcasts to develop listening skill in 43 students of the ninth year of superior basic education aged between 13-14 years at UE “Ramon Barba Naranjo High School” background. A quasi-experimental field research study was applied, the application of the pre-test and post-test was carried out in two groups: the first control group and the second the experimental group. The implementation stage was planned in four weeks where teacher had to plan and design material for a 40 minutes virtual class. After the application of the strategies, students were evaluated according to a specific content tests as a post-test. To verify the hypothesis of this research, the calculation of T student test was used. The results indicated that podcasts developed listening skills in students from Ninth School Year, thus the teaching strategies for listening must be planned and designed by teachers to promote a significant learning process.
