    Listening is an active skill that involves perceiving and analyzing sounds, unlike merely hearing sounds passively. It is the most frequently used language modality, with adults spending almost half their communication time listening. The listening process is complex, as listeners must process messages in real-time without being able to rewind or look ahead, and cope with vocabulary, structure, and delivery speed chosen by the speaker. For students to become proficient listeners, teachers must provide ample listening practice and training in effective listening strategies, such as allocating significant time for listening activities, engaging students in strategy discussions, and including listening as regular homework.

    Introduction

    English as a foreign language has the greatest motion in Bangladesh. Status of


    English as the "library language" and the increased "international inter-dependence"
    are the two reasons of this which led to a greater focus on face-to-face language
    usage crossing the margin of pen and paper exercise. As the decline of Grammar-
    Translation method in 1960s proved that language learning might not be limited to
    "reading and writing" or 'literacy', the provisional continuation of Direct Method
    confirmed too that 'listening and speaking' that is 'oracy' is not all that is language.
    Language must be taught in an integrative way where all four skills are focused.

    The teaching listening in my opinion is very good and is what I like, it is important to
    listen and so we pronounce well, an example is when we heard songs in English, we
    fall on our head while we listen to the can sing with good pronunciation.
    What is listening?

    Listening is a skill in a sense that it's a related but distinct process than hearing which
    involves merely perceiving sound in a passive way while listening occupies an active
    and immediate analysis of the streams of sounds. This correlation is like that
    between seeing and reading. Seeing is a very ordinary and passive state while
    reading is a focused process requiring reader's instrumental approach. Listening has
    a "volitional component". Tomatis' view is, while listening; the desire to listen, as well
    as the capability to listen (comprehension) must be present with the listener for the
    successful recognition and analysis of the sound.

    Listening is the language modality that is used most frequently. It has been estimated
    that adults spend almost half their communication time listening, and students may
    receive as much as 90% of their in-school information through listening to instructors
    and to one another. Often, however, language learners do not recognize the level of
    effort that goes into developing listening ability.

    Listening involves a sender (a person, radio, and television), a message, and a


    receiver (the listener). Listeners often must process messages as they come, even
    if they are still processing what they have just heard, without backtracking or looking
    ahead. In addition, listeners must cope with the sender's choice of vocabulary,
    structure, and rate of delivery. The complexity of the listening process is magnified
    in second language contexts, where the receiver also has incomplete control of the
    language.

    Given the importance of listening in language learning and teaching, it is essential


    for language teachers to help their students become effective listeners. In the
    communicative approach to language teaching, this means modeling listening
    strategies and providing listening practice in authentic situations: those that learners
    are likely to encounter when they use the language outside the classroom.
    Conclusion

    For our students to become proficient listeners, they need to be exposed to


    tremendous listening input and they need training (especially at the lower levels of
    proficiency) on how to develop effective listening strategies. Be sure to:
     Allocate ample time for listening activities the same way you do for speaking or
    grammar practice.
     Engage the students in discussions of the strategies they use and allow them to
    learn from each other.
     Make listening a "regular" part of homework.
    Focusing on listening is one of the best investments you can make as language
    teacher, as it will help your students develop more confidence in their language
    ability. Listening is a challenging skill, yet, with constant practice, support, and
    encouragement, your students will develop both strategies and confidence.
