Listening,
unlike the other language skills, is felt comparatively much difficult by the learners,
as it has all its interrelated subskills such as receiving, understanding, remembering,
evaluating, and responding. But with the advent of communicative language-teaching
and the focus on proficiency, the learning and teaching of listening started to receive
more attention. However, listening is not yet fully integrated into the curriculum and
needs to be given more attention in a language learning setting.
