Introduction The term listening is used in language teaching to refer to a complex process that allows us to understand spoken language.Listening,the most widely used language skill,is often used in conjunction with the other skills of speaking, reading and writing.Listening is not only a skill area in lan- guage performance,but is also a critical means of acquiring a second language (L2).Listening is the channel in which we process language in real time-employing pacing,units of encoding and pausing that are unique to spoken language.
