Listening is one of the essential skills that learners studying English need to develop This study focuses on non-major English students who are learning English as a foreign language, as well as English teachers.
The study at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy aimed to investigate the techniques utilized by non-major English students This research focuses on understanding the methods employed in their learning process, providing insights into the educational practices within the institution.
To explore and analyze the challenges that students often face in developing English listening skills, it is essential to implement effective note-taking strategies for both teachers and students This article utilizes tests and survey questionnaires as primary tools to collect data on students' difficulties in learning listening skills and the strategies they frequently employ to enhance their listening abilities The research includes pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate students' listening comprehension skills before and after applying listening strategies.

Listening is an essential part of the communication process Students spend the majority of each school day listening, and much of what they know is acquired through listening It is a term frequently used without much thought However, listening is a vital mental capability and one of the primary ways through which we understand and engage with the world around us.

Listening skills are crucial for students to gain insights and information, as well as to achieve success in communication with others (Sharma, 2011, p 13) Both in and out of school, students encounter numerous listening opportunities; however, some fail to take advantage of them due to distractions or preoccupations with their own thoughts rather than focusing on the speaker Effective listening is a communication method that requires the listener to understand, interpret, and evaluate what they hear The ability to listen well can significantly enhance personal interactions by resolving problems, increasing cooperation, and fostering understanding.
Listening is the ability to identify and understand what the speaker is conveying through comprehending their accent, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and grasping their meaning These components of listening are well explained in academic contexts, such as master's theses and university dissertations.

Effective listening is essential for students to develop the necessary skills for success, as it involves the integration of various component skills According to Vandergrift (1999), listening skills are no longer seen as a passive process; recent studies emphasize the importance of listening before speaking and the role of listening in language acquisition Vandergrift and Tafaghodtari (2010) describe listening as a complex skill that encompasses multiple simultaneous processes at different levels, combining linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge Listening plays a crucial role among the four language skills, helping to identify who knows or does not know a language In social contexts, those who learn and understand how to listen are more likely to succeed, while those lacking this skill may struggle It is undeniable that listening deserves as much attention, if not more, than reading skills.
Research by Ρieгເe (1998) indicates that listening is an active process rather than a passive one, emphasizing the necessity for students to engage and respond effectively He also explored the importance of listening in academic contexts, highlighting its role in enhancing comprehension and communication skills.
Listening involves actively receiving and constructing meaning from a stream of sound To listen effectively, individuals must possess sufficient knowledge of the language being spoken Listening is not a passive skill; rather, it is an interactive process that requires learners to decode messages and apply various strategies It is essential to recognize that listening encompasses a distinct set of skills, separate from those needed for reading comprehension Research indicates that the skills required for listening comprehension are significantly different from those necessary for reading comprehension (Osada, 2004).
According to Poelmans (2003), listening skill is defined as listening comprehension, which involves the transformation of auditory stimuli into mental interpretations by the listener based on the speaker's intent This high-level cognitive skill plays a significant role in language learning and acquisition, facilitating the development of other language skills During the listening process, listeners are encouraged to predict what will be spoken next, which is particularly beneficial for students in enhancing their listening comprehension Listening situations require listeners to respond, involving interpretation and evaluation of the speaker's purposes, as well as anticipating potential outcomes Additionally, listeners with background knowledge about the speaker can influence their interpretation and response to the spoken content.
Listening is an essential component of many skills and is an active process rather than a passive one Listeners must engage in communication to grasp information effectively To become fluent speakers in English, students need to develop their listening skills, as this ability helps them not only understand spoken language but also enhances their overall communication proficiency.
Eleven speakers are singing, but they also communicate clearly with others Additionally, students will learn how to pronounce words properly, how to use intonation, and where to place stress in words and sentences.
Listening comprehension is an integrative process that involves understanding the speaker's intentions through active engagement The effectiveness of a listener's comprehension depends not only on their linguistic knowledge but also on their non-linguistic sources and the social context It is crucial for listeners to recognize that word-for-word comprehension is not essential; instead, they should seek the general meaning to mitigate misunderstandings Positive listening self-concepts can enhance students' realization that word-for-word comprehension is unnecessary, and that guessing and hypothesis testing are valuable strategies Listening is increasingly recognized as vital in foreign language classrooms, as it provides essential input for learners Without adequate understanding of input, effective learning cannot occur, making listening fundamental to speaking skills.
