Little by little, however, listening comprehension anxiety has begun to surface as a problematic area for students. The language teaching profession needs to develop listening comprehension activities that also reduce anxiety associated with this competency because of the fact that listening comprehension is the most frequently used language skill in the classroom. What is more, this kind of anxiety can short-circuit the entire language-learning process from processing input to producing output. The purpose of this paper is to present suggestions and sample activities to address listening comprehension anxiety and to describe some difficulties related to changing classroom patterns.
