Listening homophones in difficult for foreign - language learners. This, Many of Thai Students can’t understand listening English homophones. Especially, this involves a speaker’s accent or pronunciation, and his meaning. The main problem here is that homophones might confuse students in a listening and it is because there are words that have the same sound but different meaning, Fromkin and Rodman (2007:211) say “a word means knowing its sounds and meaning”. Both are necessary, for the same sounds can sometimes mean different words. It is necessary to be prepare for a listening comprehension, besides it is not an easy work to learn a second language most people or Thai students who are learning English as a second language should train their listening skill in order to be capable to indentify homophones incorrect context.
