Listening is crucial to the second language acquisition for students. Due to the relatively unappreciated role of listening in language development, educators and language experts have been actively promoting different methods to enhance listening skills. The advent of advanced web technology has provided more opportunities for teachers and students to expand their teaching and learning scope. With the guidance of metacognition and Zone of Proximal Development theory, this research aims to discuss a new teaching model which blends traditional class, WeChat communication platform and smartphone learning apps to facilitate L2 students in China in learning English listening. The research design is experimental with a ttest to justify its validity. The data collected are positive and suggest this new teaching model is effective in improving students’ listening competence.
