province The main purposes of the study are to find out the factors affecting students‟ listening comprehension and to offer some solutions to help students overcome their affective factors The instruments used in the study were questionnaire and interviews The questionnaire was designed for 100 students and the interviews were carried out with both three teachers and 10 out of the 100 students at the chosen school The results showed that learners encountered various kinds of affective factors on listening problems which were divided into four categories: factors related to the listening text, factors related to the speakers, factors related to the listener, and factors related to physical settings From the findings of the research, some suggestions were proposed for teachers to help their students overcome those affective factors such as designing suitable listening materials, encouraging students to use top- down strategies and encouraging prediction iii LUAN

the study and the main findings focusing on the two research questions The limitations of the study as well as the suggestions for further research will also be presented in this chapter Recapitulation The study has investigated the factors affecting listening comprehension of the eleventh grade students at a high school in Bac Ninh province The survey research was employed, using questionnaire for students and interviews with both students and teachers After reviewing literature related to affective factors on listening comprehension, the researcher designed a survey questionnaire for the students The questionnaire was employed to recognize the factors affecting listening comprehension experienced by the eleventh grade students Then, the questionnaire was delivered to 100 students from three classes at the chosen school to collect data After completing the analysis of the data from the questionnaire, the researcher made a list of interview questions for both the students and the teachers The interviews with three teachers and ten students were carried out to triangulate the information that was obtained through the questionnaire They aimed to obtain data on how the factors which had been identified through the questionnaire affected the learners‟ listening comprehension, and to find out if there were any other factors that affected the learners‟ listening comprehension The collected data showed affective factors on listening comprehension Furthermore, suggested solutions were proposed for better listening learning and teaching Concluding remarks It is obvious that listening comprehension is vital in language learning in that it provides input for the learners Without understanding inputs, students can not learn anything Findings discussed above assisted the researcher to give significant conclusions to the two research questions in the current study The findings from questionnaire and interviews indicate a number of factors that influence students‟ listening comprehension The level of influence of each 44 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com factors on students is different; however, they all cause difficulties for students in listening comprehension The factors are categorized into four sub-categories: affective factors from listeners, affective factors from listening materials, affective factors from speakers and affective factors from physical settings In terms of affective factors from listeners, the researcher finds out that students had to face with difficulties in making prediction about what speaker is going to talk about, not having much cultural knowledge about several fields of life and society, failing to recognize the main points in listening message, lacking necessary vocabulary, not using listening strategies effectively and systematically In terms of affective factors from listening materials, it can be seen clearly that students found difficulties when they met unfamiliar topics, difficult grammar structures, complex sentences, long listening text and uninteresting information In terms of affective factors from speakers, the finding revealed that the students found listening difficult when they encountered quick speech rate, different speakers‟ accents and a lot of speakers in one listening In terms of affective factors from physical settings, students mentioned that noises and poor quality equipments make them difficult to understand the listening text The suggested solutions for these problems are also the answers for the second research question The second research question is aimed at suggested solutions to help students overcome the factors that affect their listening comprehension For affective factors from listeners, several solutions are suggested to help students such as concentrating on photos, maps, charts, text-types or anything that was provided before listening to predict what speaker is going to talk about, spending more time to broaden their knowledge in as many sorts of information as possible to get background knowledge on variety of materials, focusing on discourse markers and words or phrases repeated many times to get the main points of listening passage, enriching the vocabulary and make full use of listening strategies To solve affective factors from the listening materials, students should practice listening in a variety of topics, strengthen their grammar, try to expose to different kinds of accents, concentrate completely when listening, and use symbols to get better note-taking 45 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com In conclusion, it is common knowledge that listening is an active skill requiring learners to deal with a variety of complicated tasks such as discriminating between the sounds and interpreting stress and intonation It is also known that students used several mental processes to catch the meaning of the information they listen to These mental processes that students used to understand the spoken language can be broadly described as listening comprehension strategies This study helped them identify the factors affecting their listening comprehension and suggested several solutions to help students overcome these factors Furthermore, it is very necessary for the students to spend more time on self-studying listening at home and learn the way to use the listening strategies appropriately and effectively Limitations of the study Although the study was carefully designed, there are some unavoidable limitations Firstly, this study investigated the affective factors on the listening comprehension of the eleventh students at the chosen school However, with the limited number of participants, the results of the study may not be generalized to all students from both the chosen school and other high schools In fact, it only serves as reference information for the high school with the students and teachers of similar characteristics as those in this study Secondly, there are still several other factors related to students‟ other sources which have not been explored in this study such as affective factors from students‟ psychology and affective factors from tasks Thirdly, the study did not show that how affective factors were different between male and female students Suggestions for the further research It is hoped that people who are interested in this topic will widen the scale of the study with more participants, in other schools because many other aspects about affective factors on listening comprehension have not been deeply discussed In addition, in further researches, data should be gathered from other sources like class observation to get accurate information Last but not least, further investigations should also be conducted on whether their age or male and female students is a source of affective factors 46 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add
