N2  - This study sought to examine the effect of developing L2 listening fluency throughout extensive listening (EL). In so doing, two groups of adult intermediate language learners were recruited to comply with the objective. They were randomly divided into two groups. Two different task types, reading-only task (ROT) and reading-while-listening task (RWLT), were employed on 18 university students over a 10-week period. The ROT and RWLT group studies a total of 8 reading and audio listening. A test measurement was utilized to gouge the ROT and RWLT language gains comprising the listening test. The test was administered before the intervention and was repeated after the program. An immediate questionnaire was developed to obtain students' attitudes towards EL class. The results suggested that in the post-intervention test WRLT group significantly outperformed the ROT group on the listening fluency enhancement. In addition, the content analysis revealed some contributing factors to listening enhancement such as feeling responsibility, learning how to write, using telegram application as a motivator and facilitator and improving listening speed, to name a few. The findings have several suggestions for increasing L2 listening fluency.
