Abstract
The research explored the challenges of students undertaking the TOEFL prediction test, specifically in the listening section. The study utilized descriptive qualitative research and employed a questionnaire. To attain proficiency in listening comprehension, students must grasp macro and micro skills, as Brown’s taxonomy outlines. The study demonstrated that students encounter difficulty in listening comprehension due to four major factors: sound, vocabulary, grammar, and pragmatic awareness. The findings indicated that students' struggle to understand spoken language lies in micro-skills, particularly at lower proficiency levels of recognizing word sounds. Consequently, introducing micro-skills is essential to enhance students' language knowledge.
