REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Previous Study
BINGOL (2014) conducted with the title “Listening Comprehension Difficulties
Encountered By Students In Second Learning Class”. He concluded most
universities teaching language is English. Therefore students listen and understand
the lectures. Teacher should teach the students appropriate listening strategies. There
is no an ideal methods that fits all kinds of clauses. But we should finds our students
limit, diagnose their capacity and find out the factors that may influence their
listening comprehension. Then we way offer them to complete different type of
activities. Listening task should involve progress from fundamental to more
complex as the student obtains in language ability.

SONDONG (2015) conducted with the title “The Problem Faced By The Fourth
Semester Students Of English Department Of UKI TORAJA In Listening
Comprehension”. The result from the research show that the problem faced by the
fourth semester students of English Department of UKI TORAJA in listening
comprehension as follow; (1). The listeneris not always possible to have words
repeated, (2). The listener think listening is very challenging to study, (3).The
listener encounter various kinds of listening problems in learning listening
comprehension such as unfamiliar words, the lenght of the spoken text, speed rate, a
variety of accents, lack of concentration and pronunciation,and (4). The listener
usually not recognize the signal of speaker use when he move from one point to
another.
B. Review of related Literature
1. Defenition of listening
Donoghua in To’ Upa’ (2013: 6)”stated the listening is learned recepted skill,a
personal,often private absorption of ideas and attitude expressed skill through oral
language”
Michael Rost in To’ Upa’ (2013: 6) “stated the listening comprehension is
listening with understanding it emphasize language skill beyond basic auditory
discrimination and oral grammar”.
Oxfort in Sondang (2015: 7) “Listening is a complex problem solving skill and it
is more than just perception of the sounds. Listening includes comprehension of
meaning words, phrase, clauses, sentences and connected discourse”
According to bulletin in Saricobon in Siregar (2013: 6) “Listening is one of the
fundamental languaage skills”. From the defenition above we can say that
listening is the ability to identify and understanding what others are saying.
2. Importance of Listening
1.Listening acquires the phonological system of language
2.Without listening comprehension,oral communication in impossible
3.Listening serves as the basic for the development of speaking.
3.Kinds of Listening
Extensive Listening
Intensive listening is listening that
needed to be active in creating students
engagement through the way we set up
tasks
4. Types of Listening
Informational Listening
The process of informational
listening focuses on the ability of an
individual to understand a speaker’s
meaning.
is listening which usually take place
outside the classroom in the students
home,car,or personal streo as they
travel from one place to another.
Intensive Listening
Reflective Listening
This is a communication involving
two key steps: seeking to
understand a speaker’s idea, then
offering the idea back to the
speaker to confirm the idea has
been understood correctly
 C. Theoretical Framework
5.Problem in Learning Comprehension
 The speed of delivery is beyond the
control of listener
It’s not always possible for learners to
have words repeated
 Small size of the learner vocabulary
Listeners may not recognize the signals
that the speakers is using to move from
one point to another especially
 It can be very challenging for listeners
to concentrate in a foreign language
The learning habits which the teacher
emphasize in the classroom such as the
desire to understand the meaning of
every word
lack contextual knowledg
Listening is learned recepted skill,a
personal,often private absorption of ideas
and attitude expressed through oral
language.If someone is listening,he will
able to fix in is mind information he
considered useful to remember,by eye
contact,facial expression,posture,etc.The
listener expreses his interest in what the
speaker says. In previous study has show
that we should find our students limit,
dignose their capacity, and find out the
factors that may influence their listening
comprehension. Then we way offer them
to complete different type of activities.
Most learners will spent considerably
more time in listening to the foreign
language in producing it them. It is not
only that they must understand what say
to during face toface interaction.
Realizing the statement above it can be
state that there are many problems that
might be faced by students in listening
comprehension include by the students of
SMA Negeri 1 Sangalla’
