This exploratory action research investigates the effect of pre-listening vocabulary activities on B2 level English language learners’ listening comprehension performance. The study was conducted in a classroom setting over a period of four weeks, using pre-listening tasks such as vocabulary lists, matching exercises, and keyword prediction activities before listening lessons. Findings suggest that pre-listening vocabulary activities significantly improve learners’ listening comprehension, increase their ability to understand main ideas and specific details, and enhance overall classroom participation. The study concludes with pedagogical implications for English language teachers, especially those teaching intermediate (B2) learners in listening-focused lessons.
