Although a great deal of attention has been devoted to listening skills in recent years, comprehension gaps often occur. Different factors may impact learners listening comprehension, leading to listening problems. One of them is anxiety. Research shows that in order to be competent listeners, learners must be able to actively and strategically take part in the listening process within a low-anxiety classroom environment. Recognizing the influence of anxiety on listening is the first step; the next one is to uncover the sources of listening comprehension anxiety and propose solutions. This book presents the sources and solutions to listening comprehension anxiety as reported by English language learners in an EFL context and pedagogical implications are provided.
