The primary goal of the present investigation is to figure out how listening to English news on BBC program impacts students learning English as a foreign language at an institution of higher learning at the center of Vietnam's expansion of vocabulary. Seventy nine willing students engaged with the study conducted by the researcher; 39 were placed in the experimental group, and the remaining half were placed in the controlled group. It was vital for both groups to wrap up the pre-test on. Subsequently, the experimental group was instructed to regularly listen to English News in order to increase their vocabulary. In addition, participants completed a few tasks assigned by the researcher that had to do with the English news they had heard. Within eight weeks, pre- and post-test data were gathered. The outcomes of the research showed that, in comparison to the control group, the experimental group's vocabulary growth was substantially greater. This proved that vocabulary among English majors is enhanced by listening to BBC English news through the scores from the post-test after the experimental.
