Summary
In teaching English, there are four important skills that should be taught, including listening, reading, speaking and writing. Listening is considered as the most important skill and its role is the prerequisite of the other skills because understanding the meaning of foreign language needs input. As Hamouda (2013) states that language acquisition is achieved mainly through receiving understandable input and listening ability is the critical component in achieving understandable language input, without understanding inputs at the right level, any kinds of learning cannot occur. According to Hamouda (2013) listening is a fundamental language skill, and as such it merits a critical priority among the four skill areas for language students. Before students learn and develop other skills such as reading, speaking and writing, they should master in listening first
