This study investigated the effects of extensive listening (EL) on vocabulary acquisition among students with different vocabulary levels. Seventy-five Japanese university students engaged in EL for one-semester. The results showed that 12 hours of EL can increase students’ aural vocabulary knowledge regardless of vocabulary level, although the improvements are small. In order to increase the effectiveness, EL homework needs to be adjusted in terms of its procedure and materials.
