Listening skill in English is one of the most important skills in communication and educational process. However, listening skill is a skill that is not easily mastered by all non-native speaker students. The students need to know and understand the difficulties in listening process. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the difficulties faced by the students dealing with listening comprehension. This research is a descriptive qualitative research with case study approach that examines six students in third semester of the English education study program in Universitas Muhammadiyah Kotabumi with three different proficiency levels: low, moderate, and high level. The results of this study showed that students with low level faced difficulties with unfamiliar words (message content), speed of speech (speaker), and lack of vocabulary (listener). Then in moderate level students felt difficult in the speed of speech (speaker) and noises (physical settings). Meanwhile, students with high level faced difficulty with the long spoken text (message content), variety of accents (speaker) and noises (physical settings). It can be concluded that the listening comprehension difficulties encountered by the students at tertiary level are different depending on their proficiency in English. Therefore, the implication of the current study is that the lecturer need to consider the information revealed in this study in order to be able to overcome the difficulties faced by the students.

The aim of this research was to see the correlation between students’ language awareness and learning styles toward their TOEFL listening skill of English Education Study Program, University of Riau Kepulauan (UNRIKA). This research used quantitative method with correlational research design. The selection of research subject used total sampling of 60 students. Data were collected by using 2 questionnaires for students’ language awareness and learning styles variables, as well as the listening test to measure their TOEFL listening skill. This research was analyzed by using Pearson product moment formula and multiple regression to get multiple correlation coefficient (r). From the results of analysis, it was found that the coefficient of multiple correlation (r) = 0.1763, where r ranged from 0.00 - 0.1999. This meant that there was a very low correlation between language awareness (X1) and learning styles (X2) to the dependent variable of students’ TOEFL listening skill. While the coefficient of determination (r2) = 0.028 which meant that 2.8% variation of the independent variables of language awareness (X1)  and learning styles (X2) can explain the variation of dependent  variable of students’ TOEFL listening skill.

This paper provides a case study of the fossilized endstate L2 English grammar of an adult native speaker of Turkish. Results are presented from production data (over 3400 utterances, gathered over 2 time periods 18 months apart), concentrating on verbal and nominal inflection and associated syntactic properties; data from a number of other tasks are also presented. A high level of accuracy in suppliance of English tense and agreement morphology was found. In contrast, suppliance of definite and indefinite articles was significantly lower but nevertheless appropriate. Syntactic correlates (such as verb placement, presence of overt subjects, case assignment, definiteness effects) were all completely accurate, suggesting no underlying impairment to functional categories or features. There is some evidence for influence from the L1, which has rich inflection but lacks articles, but this appears to be an effect on suppliance of overt morphology and not on underlying representation, which shows properties appropriate to the L2.
