Abstract
This article investigates the challenges of learning to listen. Listening is one of the most important skills for language learners. Most of the time, language learners do listening in the classroom or lectures. The challenge for learners is to recognize the words in a stream of acoustic blur or normal conversational speech This challenge is combined with the awareness of context, culture, discourse, community, and other sociolinguistic variables. This article will tackle the key issues and challenges in pedagogical research that are related to teaching listening comprehension as well as shedding light on the causes that make listening difficult for learners and suggest some solutions to handle such difficulties.
