Abstract

The present research entitled "Listening Comprehension Ability of Students of GradeTen" was an attempt to find out listening comprehension ability of the grade ten students in Darchula district. This study further focused on the level of the students ( i.e. brilliant 80%, average 60%, and below average 40%) . Both primary and the secondary sources of data have been utilized in the study.Quantative and interpretative data analysis procedures have been used in the study. A sample of five secondary level government aided schools from Darchula district have been taken purposively by selecting ten students from each schools to meet the objective of the study. The study found out that listening comprehension abilityof the students of grade ten in Darchula district was not good. The overall result in listenings comprehension was not satisfactory. Because only 30% of them were good in listening comprehension.The remaining 70% were poor in listening comprehension. It shows that, though, the listening comprehension is also one of the language skills, students were not developing this skill which was not the good sign for the language learners. Furthermore, it was also found out that only 10% of the students were talented ( in the researcher’s term-Briliant). They said that, they were talented not because of their school environment but by their ‘self-practice’. This clearly shows the situation of teaching listening in the context of Darchula district.
