SURVEY-BASED ANALYSIS OF LISTENING ERRORS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract

 Listening comprehension is a vital component of language proficiency. However, many learners encounter difficulties that result in listening errors, negatively affecting their communication abilities and academic success. This survey-based action research investigates the most common types and causes of listening errors among secondary school students studying English. A total of 60 students and 10 English teachers from three schools participated in the study. The results reveal that the most frequent listening errors stem from unfamiliar vocabulary, fast speech, lack of concentration, and limited exposure to authentic listening materials. Based on the findings, the study suggests pedagogical strategies to improve listening instruction in EFL classrooms.
