Based on mathemagenic functions, behaviors that increase learning, this experiment was conducted to determine if the location and type of picture used in listening exercises would affect EFL university students' comprehension and recall of listening materials. A5×2 factorial design was used to examine two independent variables. The pictorial variable consisted of five conditions: no picture, a relevant picture before listening, a relevant picture afterwards, an irrelevant picture before, and an irrelevant picture afterwards. The listening proficiency variable consisted of two levels: intermediate and low. Three hundred university students participated in 10 treatment groups. Comprehension and recall of unillustrated expository prose information were measured by a post-test that consisted of 12 multiple-choice questions, and a retention test of the same questions that was administered a week later. Results showed that students who saw a relevant picture before listening scored highest, while students who saw an irrelevant picture afterwards scored lowest.
