    Currently, education all over the world has suffered from a drastic change, as it has been forced to move from traditional environments inside classrooms to portals on the net, where online teaching and learning have gained so much relevance and acceptance. Due to the fact that in some geographical areas where online education is still new or does not have any means to get to those places, teachers are implementing different aspects of this technology in education within classrooms. Music is one of these new trends in language teaching, it does not only give students new ways to learn English as a foreign language but provides an environment that fosters the autonomy of learners and their language skills. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of classical music as a ludic activity in improving listening comprehension. This research work used an inductive and deductive method which gathers quantitative and qualitative data. Hence, the researcher worked with a group of 18 students from Unidad Educativa “Tupak Yupanki” in Guaranda, Ecuador. Among the instruments used in the present research, there is a survey that determines the dimensions of the learning process, a questionnaire with 10 questions meant for students about their attitude and acceptance towards using music as a ludic activity, and a pre-and post-test to identify the listening comprehension level of the students before and after treatment. Consequently, the results demonstrated a significant improvement in listening comprehension and a high acceptance of the use of classical music as a ludic activity in the teaching/learning process of the English language.
