Abstract
This study examines the course design of a Japanese language listening class for advanced international students and assesses the pedagogical benefits of using Moodle. Moodle is a software package for producing internet-based courses and web sites as well as offering students increased accessibility to extensive on-line learning resources, which in addition, enables teachers to encourage self-directed learning amongst students. This report will also discuss possibilities for improving the application of Moodle to listening courses.
