Abstract

This study aims to investigate the students’ difficulties in listening and to explore the factors of students’ listening difficulties. The writer uses mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) with questionnaire and interview as the data collecting techniques. The participants of this research are 100 students of a senior high school in West Java who filled in the questionnaires and 8 students who took part in in-depth interviews. The quantitative approach is used to show the numeric data of the questionnaire about students’ listening difficulties and the qualitative approach is applied to explore the factors of students’ listening difficulties. The findings of the research show that the difficulties in listening skills faced by students include unfamiliar words, rate of speech, unfamiliar accent, unclear pronunciation, recording quality, and inadequate facility. As for the factors of those difficulties, it involed the students’ background knowledge, lack of practices and environment noise.
