THE CAUSES OF LISTENING
IS DIFFICULT SUBJECT FOR THE STUDENTS
In
the context of learning language especially English as a foreign language,
there are four skills that the students should master. There are listening,
speaking, reading, and writing. Among these skills, listening is one of the
most difficult subjects that the students have many problems and they always
make mistake in this skill. The common mistake is they do not understand what
the native speaker is talking. Therefore, there are three reasons of listening
become the difficult subject for the students, not only for the beginner students but also for the students who
ever studied English.
The
first cause is the students have less vocabulary. When students listen to the native speaker is talking,
they try to find out the meaning of the words that contain in the exercise. However,
they have limit time to open dictionary and the teacher or lecture does not
give them permission to do it. Sometimes, the students also ask to their friend
about those words whereas its very disturb whose friend concentrate to listen
to the cassette. Consequently,
they will feel difficult to decide the best answer of the question because they
do not know the meaning of the words and they have bothered their friend.
The
next
reason is the
students are not familiar with the native speaker and they have not practiced
yet. For the learners,
they have not heard before about it, they feel strange when they listen for the
first time and the natives’ speaker speak very quickly. But, it’s different with
the students who ever learned about listening, such as TOEFL. They know the
strategy to get the point in it, but they never try to practice at home, only
if there is a class of listening. As the result, both of them are difficult to
catch the meaning of the words because they do not understand what the native
speaker said and the students can feel bored and lazy to do the exercise because
they do not get the idea of it.
The last reason is students always think listening is difficult
for them. They always make it as their problem. They never think listening is
interesting or say in they heart “I love listening”, when the class will be
started. Consequently, when the time of listening subject, they always feel lazy and afraid if they are
not be able to answer the question due of
listening is become load of their self.
In
conclusion, listening is complicated subject for the students because depend on
the students. Such as, they have limit vocabulary, unfamiliar with the
sound and they always think listening is the big problem for them. Even though,
for the students
know the skill, but if they never practice, they will get hard to find the
answer of the question. Therefore, in listening skill should do many exercises,
in order to improve their listening skill and never think listening
is difficult.
