Listening deals with intonation, stress, grammatical structure, recognize speech sounds, background knowledge, etc. Many students faced difficulties in learning listening skills. They felt unfamiliar with the accent of the speakers. Furthermore, in the speed of listening, students feel the text being too fast from time to time.
