Abstract
Students in the 21st century want to be taught lessons that are closely related to current real-life situations (Manuel et al., 2018) and have technology integrated as a learning tool (Prensky, 2001). Unfortunately, most of the present listening lessons do not cater to the needs of 21st century learners and are considered traditional as the lessons utilise less updated technology and audio only methods in teaching listening skills. In today’s world, where students’ lives and the internet cannot be separated, listening lessons using the students’ mobile phones as well as audio and moving visual images (video media) is made possible. When using mobile phones and video media approaches, students not only have unlimited access to authentic videos online, but also have the freedom and flexibility to pause, stop or replay the video according to their needs. Therefore, through the incorporation of Augmented Reality (AR) and mobile applications, a model of listening practices namely MyEVO is developed. This innovation is aimed to modernise the existing traditional method in the teaching and learning of listening skills into an on-the-go practice.
