Abstract: A critical aspect of learning another language is listening and is essential when learning English in classrooms. The pedagogical and operational obstacles that emerge when educators arrange listening exercises among children, even when listening’s acknowledged significance is taken into account, are substantial. The most important factors contributing to these challenges include the following among others: linguistic ones, cognitive, technical, environmental and motivational ones. This article analyses these issues in-depth through amalgamation of educational scholarship perspectives, observations in the classroom, classroom examples; which helps elucidate their contribution in creating educational achievement.
