Keywords: listening process, listening skill, the teaching of listening skill

Abstract

Methods and techniques used by both ESL and EFL students in listening may be the same but the manner of teaching should be different. For instance, ESL students can learn to listen outside the class by using authentic material as listening to the conversation of a librarian in the library (real situation) while EFL students can also do that by listening to the video provided by the teacher which performs a conversation between native speakers in a library.  The students should exercise their listening skills more in order to improve their level of mastery of listening. Students better not only do exercise in listening class but also in other places. Students must be confident in their own answers to be better in listening class and can know their own mistakes.
