- 2IntroductionLearn and speak a new language sometimes could be complicated because we need to understand all the complements and tools to speak, listen, and write. As teachers, we have a big responsibility to provide to the learners the correct material to learn and on specific have the skills and knowledge to improve their listening.
- 3What makes listening difficult?Sometimes as learners of a new language we have many challenges because a language has a lot of grammar structure and rules that we need to apply. Idioms in action, phrases, contractions and more are one of the most difficult cases to learn and identify what they are speaking about. Another factor to considered difficult to understand is when the native speakers talk with us they speak so fluently that for us sometimes is very difficult to understand. There are a lot of ideas that we can learn for example practice with a native speaker, identify the words that it is difficult to pronounce and listening, etc.
- 4The difficulties of teaching listening.The conception of the language process is something that as learners we practiced and learn every day. For the teachers, they have the idea that teaching listening is one of the most difficult tasks.
- 5Challenges in Teaching ListeningFor learners, listening presents a challenge for a variety of reasons, among which are the following:
- 6Listening involves multiple modes:Listening involves the interpersonal and interpretive modes of communication.
- 7Listening involves all varieties of language:In addition to listening to lectures and presentations in academic and formal settings.
- 8Listening involves "altered" and "reduced" language forms:In addition to dealing with the vocabulary and structures of the language, listeners have to learn to comprehend reduced forms of the language
- 9Listening involves variable rates of delivery:Unlike a reading text that is at the learner's control.
- 10The difficult listening process with learnersFrom the beginning of the class, students had unusual difficulties in terms of general lack of willingness to participate fully in free speaking activities such as ice-breakers and activities designed to encourage curiosity about each other’s culture and experiences
- 11The teacherThe teacher needs to have many activities to improve their listening process with the learners. Even, sometimes the teacher has many troubles improving the listening process. It is very important to identify the difficulty of each area in our English language process.

- 15Students can understand the instructions:Many students don't have any idea about what the teacher talks about, this is something important to improve with the students with pictures to motivate them to understand the listening process.
- 16They can't even get the general messageThis is something common to see in class because the teacher and student can understand the main idea of the topic.
- 17Students are trying to understand every word.Some students when listen to vocabulary in English try to translate or they don't understand the word.
- 18Teachers pronounce the words they just don't recognizeThis is something to improve because students need to listen to step by step.
- 19The teacher speaks so fast.Many teachers speak very fluently, but for the students on specifically the beginners, they need to listen very slow and using materials to understand. This could be frustrated for them because they can't understand the teacher for example in sentences or in a dictation.
- 20ConclusionTeaching listening is one of the most difficult tasks for any teacher, the principal idea is to provide useful activities to improve their knowledge with the students. We know that sometimes students feel frustrated because they find listening difficult. But with great didactic and excellent ideas and material, we can call the attention of our students to listen and speak English.
