The work divides my project into three chapters. Since I am dealing with the listening skills strategies and difficulties , the first chapter will turn around “listening theories” I will try to focus on listening theoretically given definition for listening skill, focusing on it major skills ,and having a clearer image on how it is taught. The second chapter includes questionnaire and interview given to a sample of secondary (teachers and students) school of Mazouna „‟El Ikhwa Dhriaf‟‟. The questionnaire analysis represents the real proof of the learners‟ state concerning the listening skill. And the interview is more about the use of listening skills in the classroom in other words if it is neglected or not. In the third chapter, I deal with data discussion in which I give comments on the questionnaire of students, and I give some suggestions and ideas about teaching listening skills and also I give an example of a lesson plan. According to what has been said above, it is safe to say that the major objectives of this academic dissertation, again, is to make listening teaching skills easier and more fruitful for both teachers and learners.
