Abstract

Listening comprehension is essential in the learning process, especially for EFL students. However, the students still tend to have problems in listening comprehension that hinder their learning performance. Additionally, the students in the recent semester are studying from home with different situations and equipment than in the listening class. This research aimed to identify the higher education EFL students' listening comprehension problems and the factor causing them. This research used the qualitative approach. It was found that the students had four major issues in learning to listen. The primary concern is unfamiliar words that the students encountered which slowed the students to think about the meaning of those words and missed the next part of the speech. They are also troubled with their memory because they may easily forget about the word they just listened to in the long-spoken text. The other problem is related to the rate of delivery, where the students are hard to keep up with the speaker if it is too fast. A variety of accents also troubled the students to understand the spoken text because they are not used to another accent than American. The main reason the students have these problems is that their lack of practice outside the listening class makes them lack vocabulary, anxiety, and nervousness while doing the listening task. It makes it hard to think and lose focus—lastly, poor-quality recording and noisy surroundings disturb their listening concentration.
