    This is a research entitled “Current Status and Problems of Implementing Listening Practices at Secondary Level”. The major objectives of the study were to find out the current status of listening practices and to identify the problems faced by the teachers while teaching listening. The sample of forty teachers was selected from secondary level English teachers of community schools of Dhanusha district following non-random sampling procedure. Questionnaire was exploited as major tool for primary data collection. The collected data were analysed descriptively using simple statistical tools and tables. The study revealed that the status of teaching listening is good but testing practice is not effective. Moreover, teaching listening is not emancipated from problems. The inadequate listening materials and resources were the major problems for teaching and testing listening. In most of the schools, listening cassettes and sound devices were not available. Furthermore, the teaching listening was greatly affected by load-shedding. The majority of the teachers, to overcome the problems, were found using live materials to teach listening.
