Factors affecting the listening skill

Abstract

Listening skill constitutes the basic structure for all the courses in primary education. So in people's lives, it is indispensable for them to be able to understand what they listen effectively. Improving students’ listening skills effectively is strongly related to being aware of the factors which have an effect on their listening performance. The purpose of this study is to define the factors that affect fifth grade students’ listening skills. In this study in order to collect data, Listening Comprehension Test, Students Characteristics Questionnaire, In-class Listening Tasks Scale, Out-of-class Listening Tasks Scale, and Students’ Views on Listening Skill Scale were used. At the end of the study it was found out that “number of juvenile books at home”, “number of books at home”, “time spent reading books”, “time spent reading newspaper” and “time spent listening to radio” have significant effects on fifth grade students’ success in their listening performance.
