It is also interesting to investigate the different effects of aural authentic materials
on listening comprehension in students who learn English as a second language and those
who learn English as a foreign language. Students who are living in an environment
where the target language is predominantly used may or may not develop more ability in
listening comprehension than those students who are living in an environment where the
target language is used only in the classroom. This is because a lot of second-language
students do not attempt to seek for face-to-face interactions with the native speakers of
the target language, even though they are residing in an English-speaking environment.
