Abstract	This study sought to investigate the effectiveness of interactive whiteboards (IWB) on students' Arabic listening skills at Kuwaiti universities during the second semester of the 2018/2019 academic year. A review of the literature indicates that interactive whiteboards support the language learning, as well as to improve students' achievement listening skills and motivation in school. The study sample consisted of 60 male students who were equally divided into two groups: the experimental and control groups. Interactive whiteboards strategy was used to determine the effect of teaching method of Arabic listening skills on students' outcomes. The pretest and posttest scores of both groups were analyzed statistically using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The finding of the study indicated significant differences between the groups at the [alpha] [less than or equal to] 0.05 level in favor of the experimental group. The results showed the following: (1) the use of the interactive white board strategy showed better improvement among the students than the use of the traditional method; (2) the effect size of using the interactive white smart boards was high, and (3) there were statistically significant differences between the mean posttest scores of the two groups in the Arabic listening skills in favor of the experimental group. Based on the findings of this study, the research indicates that (IWB) strategies can be used in teaching Arabic listening skills because of their positive effect on student achievement scores. The study concludes with recommendations for future research in different contexts. (As Provided).
