It is known that the listening ability is one of the most important skill in foreing language learning because it is developed faster than the other three skill and could affect readind and writing abilities in learning a new language. Scarella& Oxford (1992) Vandergrift (1997). Howatt and Dakin (1974) define listening as speaker's accent or pronuntiation, the grammar and the vocabulary, and grasping the meaning. Besides, research show that the listening skill is employed most frecuently.
