Listening is a receptive skill and spoken language, with background sounds, visual information, previous understandings and the specific situation altogether form listening. Because of all those factors, listening is not a passive process where the listener just registers the aural message, but an active process where numerous aspects all play an important role. (Schmitt 2010) It is this author’s firm belief that listening skill in learning English is extremely important and that the subject has not had enough recognition as it should. Thus, the purpose of this MA thesis is to delve into listening in language learning by outlining the importance of it in foreign language comprehension and examining listening sub-skills.
