IMPROVING LISTENING SKILLS IN 10TH GRADE STUDENTS

Abstract

Listening skills play a crucial role in second language acquisition, particularly in secondary education where students are expected to comprehend authentic spoken input. This study aims to investigate effective strategies for improving listening skills among 10th grade students. The research focuses on identifying pedagogical techniques that enhance comprehension, attention, and interpretation of spoken English. A mixed-method approach is employed, combining classroom observation, experimental implementation, and qualitative analysis. The findings indicate that the use of interactive listening activities, multimedia resources, and task-based exercises significantly improves students’ listening performance and engagement. The study highlights the importance of systematic listening practice and provides practical recommendations for English language teachers.
