Introduction
Listening skills are related with the way students have to interpret what people are saying
with respect to academic situations. If for instances they are not able to understand the
content or any other such difficulties (Tambunan and et.al., 2018). In present essay there is
analysis of the challenges that may arise in the course of such listening skills for this purpose
the teacher has to formulae cetin strategies so that there can be management of the way
students are able to enhance their listening abilities with respect to academic and future
professional development.
Main body – includes two parts
1. Discuss five of the listening challenges from the article.
From the analysis of the article it can be said that there are five major challenges that
generally arise in the course of listening skills in the academic context. For this purpose firs
challenge that mostly arise when teacher is starting the lecture is false starts and repetitions.
False starts are not used very common as corrections and repetition. It occurs more often
when a conversation may become intense with many speakers who are speaking at once and
they may get interrupted (Avci. and Doghonadze, 2017). It may also tale place when speaker
may become exited ot is skipping from one topic to another. These instances are very
common it may sometimes have a detrimental impact because of the limitation of false starts
that may occur in the middle of any sentence or after disclosure. In this situations teacher
may have to focus on repairs process that is burdened because of false start.
Another challenge that may arise in this situaion is related with technical terms that is
difficulty in arising some of the technical terms and further having more risk in understand,
pronouncing or spelling some of the words. Technical terms in professional context can be
difficult to hear and may lead to difficulty in the process of explaining to students the major
reason behind the term and its meaning in a particular context. For the purpose of teaching
teachers may be using some of the terms that are complete technical and may be difficult to
understand in this situation it becomes difficult for students to explore the real meaning of
such concepts.

Words with dependent prepositions are related with difficulty of using prepositions that is
one of the difficult tasks that is faced by English language learners. In this situation it can
lead to hardships where it may become difficult in the process of proper alignment in the
course of business. Generally while teaching the challenges is related with the key difference
between a phrase verb & the preposition that is dependent verb (Erlmann, 2020). It is
followed by the adverb where the phrase posses its own meaning. Therefore, part from this
the main reason for this challenge is that there are different dependent preposition
combinations that may mean the same thing for example a object may belong to something or
property of someone and then it can be owned by some all the combinations imply ownership
but sometimes it is a challenge and it may become difficult of no proper translations is
possible in other languages (Peters, 2021).
In the process of academic listening while the teacher is willing to explanting about a specific
topic or some theory there can be a challenge that may lead to impact pd meta cognitive
strategies on the comprehension of group or sometimes can be for individual student also
(Wilbourne and Cusick, 2021). Listening is sometimes connected with focussing on each
word that is spoken in the context of a lecture. Sometimes there can be technical jargons or
words that cannot be understood by students that is because of the high level or some
technical aspect that is associated with that particular word. Additionally, As part of the
challenge there is difficulty for students during listening process of the perception that they
may build up while the teacher is speaking or using such technical words in lecture.
Sometimes the technical words also posses some of the accent that may not lead to proper
exposure of authentic listening of students.
Cognitive processing of numbers and statistics is also a challenge that is related with the
usage of quantitative information or numerical information by teacher while they are
speaking or explaining some of the important aspect as part of a specific topic in a lecture. It
is a type of acoustic challenge that arise in the process of listening for students when they are
not able to understand the exact meaning of the words that reduces the fidelity of the
information that is reaching to listeners perceptual system (Dawenan., 2021). It generally
takes place when the information involves some numbers that cannot be related by the
students that is in which context it is being spoken by the teacher. In many instances it may
become difficult to understand the way information has to be interpreted by the student and
connect it with the theoretical perspective of particular topic it can lead to a complete
