This paper aims at showing how CALL and second language (L2) listening research have been used to offer further listening practice to intermediate students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). A self-access listening course with five sessions has been designed and implemented in the virtual classroom (Moodle 3.1) of the course English Language I, a first year core subject for undergraduate students doing their degrees in English Language Teaching, Translation and Research at the School of Languages, National University of Cordoba (UNC) in Córdoba, Argentina. The project was initially part of the author?s MA Dissertation at the University of Leeds in 2013 and, drawing on the data and results obtained, the sessions have been changed and improved in 2018. The self-access listening course is now available to the 600 students enrolled in the virtual classroom of English Language I showing how, by using grounded L2 listening theories, CALL can aid the design and implementation of self-access listening activities.
