Abstract

Sagita, Bella Fitria Putri. 2023. An Analysis of Students’ Difficulties in Listening Comprehension at The Second Semester of English Education Study Program of IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro. Skripsi, English Education Department, Faculty of Language and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor (I) Dr. Refi Ranto Rozak, M.Pd., (II) Meiga Ratih Tirtanawati, M.Pd. Keyword: Students’ Difficulty, Listening, Comprehension, Listening Comprehension This research aimed to identify the difficulties students encountered in listening comprehension. Using descriptive and qualitative methods supported the analysis of the difficulties. The study was conducted at IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro. Students in the second semester of the English Education Study Programme 2022/2023 served as the study's subjects. The study's subject consisted of 32 students. Data was collected through interviews, and students' responses were verified by observation while listening. The analysis of students' listening comprehension difficulties showed that listening is a skill that students learning foreign languages have difficulty with on average. Their listening depended on three variables: the listening material, the listener factor, and the physical setting. Therefore, the main issues that students' English Education Study Programme encountered included accents, speed of speech, a lack of vocabulary, diverse accents of the speakers, lack of concentration, and poor recording quality. The teacher should improve the listening tools and materials, increase students' vocabulary, provide a variety of accents to practise listening to in the language lab, provide some listening strategies, and always motivate students as solutions to the issues. The answers were provided as a guide for the lecturers.
