Abstract
One of the most important skills for communicating in real life is the ability to listen. It is becoming increasingly vital to develop when studying a foreign language. Everyone understands that hearing a message is not the same as listening to it, listeners must comprehend the message and respond appropriately. The study finds the difficulties of the first year English majors in listening abilities. The participants were thirty-six freshmen majoring in English, course 16 at Tay Do University. Questionnaire and paper interview were delivered to collect problems. The results showed that background knowledge, length and speed of the text, unfamiliar vocabulary, and different accent were the major listening comprehension difficulties. Basing on these difficulties, English learners can find out suitable learning ways to improve their listening skill. It may also be useful for those who are interested in this field.
