Abstract
"Listening plays a key role in the communication process and the acquisition of a second or foreign language. Despite its value, students as well as teachers should recognize its importance. This study attempts to examine how teachers and students at Upper Intermediate level perceive listening in comparison with speaking, reading and writing and what difficulties students might face during the training of this skill. Through a series of questionnaires their perceptions and difficulties were explored. The study reveals the awareness of both participants, the use of cognitive, metacognitive and socio-affective strategies to solve listening difficulties. Finally, the results of this study provide relevant findings that may have some implications for students and teachers regarding listening comprehension development."
