the problems of Red Sea University students come across in English
listening comprehension. It evaluates whether the factors are connected
with the text, the speaker, the listener, the environment, or the listening
materials. It determines which specific factor poses the most difficulty
for the students. The study adopted the descriptive method. The
subject of the study was a group of first year English major college
students of Red Sea University. The study sample consists of 80
students who took the listening course at Faculty of Education Arts.
Data was gathered by means of questionnaire, interview, observation,
and material analysis. The results of the study confirmed that Red
Sea University students face listening problems whenever they are
engaged in listening exercises. The study determined twenty four
factors that affected the students in their listening comprehension.
Furthermore, the current study determined the learners’ listening
difficulties that came out from the inconvenient listening environment,
from the defective listening materials used in the course, and from the students’ lack of exposure to native speakers. The study showed that
the fast speech of native speaker and his / her pronunciation were
posed the most difficulties for the students when they are engaged in
listening exercises. The researcher recommended that this problem
needs to draw teachers’ attention to train the students on listening
learning strategies to improve their language skills. | Keywords : | | Investigation, Poor Performance, factors, Listening
