The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of using a proposed EFL electronic program based on ubiquitous learning environment to improve students’ listening. The participants of the study consisted of sixty (60) female students enrolled in the second year secondary stage; of Desouk AL-Azhar Institute for Girls in Kafer El-Sheikh. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design. So, there were two groups: an experimental group (N=30) and a control one (N=30).To collect the data, the researcher used multiple instruments: a listening sub-skills checklist, a computer and internet skills questionnaire to choose the sample, and a pre post test of listening. The researcher taught both groups: the experimental group was taught through the proposed EFL electronic program based on ubiquitous learning environment designed by the researcher while the control group was taught through the traditional way of teaching. The results revealed that the proposed EFL electronic program based on a ubiquitous learning environment (ULE) had a positive effect on the development the students' listening skills. This was proved through the higher mean scores that the experimental group obtained in the post- listening skills test. The effect size of the proposed EFL electronic was found to be high. The study recommends using the ubiquitous learning environment (ULE) as a technique in teaching EFL skills.
