According to the most recent findings, listening abilities are at least as crucial as reading, writing, and speaking skills for any English language student. Nonetheless, the talent of listening has received far less attention than the other three skills. The fact that the language teaching process did not place enough emphasis on developing listening comprehension skills is puzzling, given that Mendelsohn and et al. (1994, p.9, as cited by Gilakjani, 2011) and Burley-Allen (in Flowerdew and Miller 2005:22-23, as cited by Walker, 2014) estimate that listening accounts for 40-50% of the communication process, while speaking accounts for 25-30%, reading accounts for 11-16%, and writing accounts for 9%.
