Conclusion Reference Introduction Learning foreign language depends on four skills which can be categorized into receptive skill (reading and listening) and productive skill (speaking and writing); listening has a great importance in people’s daily life and it is the most essential skill in language learning. Furthermore, listening is considered further researchers as a Cinderella skill. So in order to speak or to produce our first language we need to listen to the language used in our environment as ( Nunan ,1998) stated that” it has been claimed that over 50 percent of the time that students spend functioning in a foreign language will be devoted to listening” as cited in (Nation&Newton,2009:37).
Listening is receiving language through the ears because of that listening process plays great importance either in acquisition of L1 or learning of L2.In this chapter we will start by defining the listening skill and providing some researchers views about the nature of listening comprehension. Then, we identify extensive and intensive type of listening and we discuss the main models of listening (bottom up model-top down model) and we refer to principle stages which are (pre-listening and while listening and post listening) that help providing better learning, we end up our chapter by explaining the difficulties that are mostly encountered by students in listening foreign language followed by a conclusion.
