Abstract

Listening comprehension is crucial in learning English, serving as the foundation for effective communication and language acquisition. This study highlights significant improvements in learners' comprehension skills through targeted listening activities and diverse audio materials. Participants demonstrated increased confidence and proficiency, particularly in navigating different accents and speech rates. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating varied listening exercises into language curricula to address common challenges and enhance overall communicative competence. Prioritizing listening comprehension not only accelerates language development but also prepares learners for successful interactions in English-speaking environments, fostering personal, academic, and professional growth.
