Abstract
The concept of hearing is different from the concept of listening. Listening requires more than the mere hearing of speech sounds while hearing does not require much effort as the auditory organ are kept open for sound waves to pass through. The individual listening is the attempt to pay attention directly to sound sequences and sound contrasts in order to get the meaning of the words and understanding what is been said beyond the comprehension purposes. The aim of studying listening skills therefore is for effective communication.
