•221 participants were told to assess their listening skills by themselves.
•When listening in an academic context, using your knowledge about the subject you have previously learned is essential.
•Listening in class will also require you to understand and process the new knowledge you are being taught.
-The results indicated that listening is the most important and reading is the second most important for academic success.
•As shown in the studies results, listening is the most important skill for academic success.
•Without listening, you won’t be able to take in any information or make meaning of the information you are taking in.
•If you can’t take in any information, you won’t be able to learn anything.
