good job Today various types of organizations often ask for a good command of English These organizations give priority to those employees who can speak fluently and write a standard form of English Moreover, we need to learn English to communicate with people from other countries A person with good English skills can easily exchange his ideas, thoughts, and viewpoints with foreigners He can easily acquire the customs, culture, and manners of people of other countries Therefore, equipping students with good communication skills is considered a fundamental goal of the process of teaching and learning English, in which all the four language skills (Listening - Speaking - Reading Writing) are almost equally focused Of the four language skills that all language learners are supposed to learn, listening is considered to be the most challenging by many students due to the complex and subtle nature of listening comprehension in a second or foreign language Listening is the ability to recognize and understand what is being talked about This process involves being aware of the voice, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and content conveyed Listening is not easy at all when we, the English learners, have many difficulties in comprehending the information due to the unfamiliarity with the pronunciation of the target language and a lack of listening skills To overcome those difficulties, it is necessary for students to practice listening to English regularly Listening is an important component of learning A student’s ability to effectively listen has a major impact on building the communication skills needed both inside and outside of school If a student does not understand what

the other person is saying, then he/she will not know how to respond Listening is no longer a passive language skill but has become a proactive skill in which the student plays an active role of attendees in the process of information being heard and processed, until then can he/she understand the content in order to finally respond to that information probably (Steil, Barker &Wakson, 1983) Only when the listener can respond, will the listening process be completed, the communication process will achieve the desired result Communication may fail due to poor listening skills Therefore, listening comprehension is considered the basic factor in the communication process Listening is the gateway to understanding and communicating and, therefore, is absolutely crucial for any learners of English At VNUA, many English-majored students find listening skills more difficult than the other skills or than grammar and vocabulary This is quite easy to understand The majority of them come from rural areas where teaching and learning English mainly mean working with words (normally the meanings of words only) and grammar Therefore, listening to English is new for them and many of them find it very hard Meanwhile, the training period at the university according to the program distribution per semester of 120 lessons (10 lessons / week), for 12 weeks semester, the duration of use for listening comprehended skills is too little The duration of students' self-study is less, with few students admitting to practicing listening more in dormitories or staying at home for about hour to hours a week Another concern is that most students read tape scripts before performing listening skills Therefore, it is a bad habit that makes the listening process not meet the requirements, purposes and can be a waste of time In addition, every student wants to hear and remember 100% of the information and understand in Vietnamese every word without identifying the central content, not grasping the core information in the listening process Therefore, it makes students tired and show fear during listening lessons The

issue has not been able to go into depth nor really understand the investigation deeper The survey of students' listening activities, students' learning motivation is very difficult and many problems are intertwined with many different factors, the survey only focuses on two methods, which are surveys and interviews, which not use methods such as observation and experiment RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 FOR STUDENTS In addition to performing the listening exercises designed in the textbook, students can practice listening by watching movies, video clips, listening to teachers and classmates when practicing in pairs or groups The richer the listening format, the more attractive the students are and the better their listening ability is However, if you just stop at practicing listening and answering questions, filling in the blanks, choosing the right and wrong answers then learning a foreign language will not achieve high results Note: Five essential listening skills for English students (from Raphael Ahmed and Jamie Johnson) - Predicting content: Imagine you've just turned on your TV You see a man in a suit standing in front of a large map with the symbols of a sun, clouds and thunder What you imagine he is about to tell you? Most likely, this is going to be a weather forecast You can expect to hear words like 'sunny', 'windy' and 'overcast' You'll probably hear the use of the future tense: 'It'll be a cold start to the day'; 'there'll be showers in the afternoon', etc Depending on the context – a news report, a university lecture, an exchange in a supermarket – you can often predict the kind of words and style of language the speaker will use Our knowledge of the world helps us anticipate the kind of information we are likely to hear Moreover, when we predict the Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd.vT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.Lj.dtt@edu.gmail.com.vn.bkc19134.hmu.edu.vn.Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhddtt@edu.gmail.com.vn.bkc19134.hmu.edu.vn 34 C.vT.Bg.Jy.Lj.Tai lieu Luan vT.Bg.Jy.Lj van Luan an.vT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.Lj Do an.Tai lieu Luan van Luan an Do an.Tai lieu Luan van Luan an Do an topic of a talk or a conversation, all the related vocabulary stored in our brains is 'activated' to help us better understand what we're listening to Practice predicting content: Watch or listen to a recorded TV programme or clip from YouTube Pause after every few sentences Try to predict what is going to happen or what the speaker might say next - Listening for gist: Imagine you are a superhero flying in the sky From that height, it is possible to see what the entire area is like, how densely populated it is, the kind of houses in each area When listening, it is also possible to get the ‘whole picture’ but with one crucial difference: information comes in a sequence And in that sequence of information, there are content words (the nouns, adjectives and verbs) that can help you form that picture We often call this listening for gist Practice listening for gist: Find a short video with subtitles on a topic that interests you Use the title to help you predict the content and then listen out for the content words Go back, and listen again with the subtitles How much did you understand the first time? Return to the video a week later and try again - Detecting signposts: Just like the traffic lights on roads, there are signposts in language that help us follow what we're listening to These words, which link ideas, help us to understand what the speaker is talking about and where they are taking us They're particularly important in presentations and lectures Practice detecting signpost language: Most course books for learners of English come with a CD and audio script Find an example of a business presentation or lecture and see how many signpost phrases you can identify (listen more than once, if necessary) Then check your notes with the audio script -

Inferring meaning: Imagine you are a tourist in a country whose language you not speak In a restaurant, you hand over a credit card to pay for the bill, but the server seems to say something apologetic in response Even though you don't understand his words, you can probably conclude that the restaurant doesn't take credit cards, and you need to pay with cash instead 4.2 FOR TEACHERS The teacher is the second most important person after each student's self is the one who leads and answers questions, always behind to support students in all difficulties Since then teachers should: Provide a specific method for students' listening practice to be more effective, set a specific schedule and force students to complete it, contributing to students' difficulties to find the solution of that difficulty and race out different types of exercises from easy to difficult and force students to complete it with a specific amount of time Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd.vT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.Lj.dtt@edu.gmail.com.vn.bkc19134.hmu.edu.vn.Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhddtt@edu.gmail.com.vn.bkc19134.hmu.edu.vn 36 C.vT.Bg.Jy.Lj.Tai lieu Luan vT.Bg.Jy.Lj van Luan an.vT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.LjvT.Bg.Jy.Lj Do an.Tai lieu Luan van Luan an Do an.Tai lieu Luan van Luan an Do an REFERENCES Tàiliệutiếnganh Allen, B (2011) Identifying the effectiveness of pre-listening activities for students of Chinese Mandarin.Unpublished master thesis.Brigham Young University Chastain, K (1988).Developing second language skills: Theory and practice.Florida: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Publisher Ehsanjou, M (2014) The impacts of using different form of prelistening activities on Iranian EFL learners' listening comprehension ELT Voices -India's International Journal for Teachers of English, Farrokhi, F (2012) The effects of two pre-task activities on improvement of Iranian EFL learners' listening comprehension Theory and Practice in Language Studies, 2(1), 144-150 Hashim, F (2012) The effects of using advance organizers on improving EFL learners' listening comprehension: A mixed method study System, 40(2), 270-281 Rixon, S (1986) Development listening skills.London: Macmillan publisher Ltd Rost, M (1990) Listening in language learning.London: Longman Schwartz, A.M (1998) Listening in a foreign language.Washington, DC: Center For Applied Linguistics TàiliệuTiếngviệt LêThịTuyết (2016) Thựctrạngvànhậnthứcsửdụngđiệnthoạithôngminhđểrènluyệnkỹnăngnghe sinhviênnăm chuyênngànhtiếngAnhtrườngĐạihọcNgoạingữ -
