Listening is really important in everyday life for understanding different things. People listen to things like audio for different reasons, such as enjoyment, learning, or getting important information. When students learn English, they often have trouble understanding what they hear because schools focus more on reading, writing, and speaking. This research talks about the challenges students face when listening in class and how teachers can help them improve. When teachers understand what students struggle with, they can teach better. This article shows how important it is to help students become better at listening to English. It also suggests some activities both students and teachers can do to improve listening skills.
