LISTENING COMPREHENSION PROBLEMS

Abstract

For English instructors, it is not enough to merely learn the characteristics of the listening process. When designing a learner-centered listening lesson plan, instructors have to take into consideration listening comprehension problems that their learners might encounter. Compared to other language skills, recognizing the target learners’ listening obstacles is the first and foremost step in listening instruction. Composed of the findings from four research papers, this section highlights listening comprehension problems that learners might have, hoping to offer instructors a general picture of their students’ barriers to listening.
