Abstract
Listening as a receptive skill is considered the oral skill which is the primary ability developed in first language acquisition. However, until recently listening was ignored in the second language context. Nunan (1999) states that listening is the Cinderella skill in the second language context because it is overlooked by its elder sister, speaking. Moreover, Nunan (2002) adds that EFL students spend a lot of class time for listening, but it is the most unnoticed of the four skills in EFL contexts.
