ESL Listening Worksheets

This page has ESL listening worksheets that you can download and print for free. You can use them offline to help get better at listening to and understanding English.

All the material contained in the worksheets comes from the listening section of the Excellent ESL 4U website. It has been represented so that it is easier and simpler for people who do not want to use the Internet while doing the tasks. If this is you, then you can download the ESL listening worksheets.

Each worksheet has four listening exercises. These are listening to a group of words and identifying to correct order from options, listening to a definition of a word and finding the correct word, a listening comprehension where you have to listen to a spoken passage and then answer questions and finally a dictation passage.

For all the activities you will need to listen to a recording. Each exercise in the work sheet has a link to a Soundcloud track that you will need to listen to. You can either click the link within each pdf or copy the link into your web-browser to get to the recording.

On the last page of each ESL listening worksheet there are the answers to the three exercises that are multiple choice questions and the two passages from the listening comprehension and dictation are given so you can see them to check how well you understood the original.

There are also four other complementary worksheets about each of the topics covered by the listening worksheets on this page. They can be found on the following pages:

• ESL vocabulary worksheets
• ESL reading worksheets 
• ESL writing worksheets
• ESL conversation worksheets

The vocabulary worksheet has a list of words and definitions that about the topic, and you should make sure you have learnt them before attempting the listening worksheets on this page. You can also download the vocabulary as ESL flashcards that you can use to learn the words.
