Low proficiency students generally tend not to show their interest in listening exercises. The author carried out an action research of first-year Japanese low proficiency university students on their listening abilities in class. English songs were brought into class in preparation for the listening exercise and students were keen to listen to them. As a result, they were motivated and actively participated in the listening exercise. After six-week action research was over, students continued listening to English songs as a main listening exercise in class once a week for seven months and their listening ability improved at the end of the term. This paper introduces the way students worked in class and the result of their improvement.
