摘要

The following research project “Listening Techniques Used by Students of the Readings and Conversation II from the Modern Languages Major and the English Teaching Major at the Foreign Languages Department of the University of El Salvador, Semester I , 2016” has been developed with the objective of analyzing the listening techniques used by students from the Modern Languages and the English Teaching major. As it is well known, the listening skill is an important aspect when learning the English language, but sometimes this skill is not given enough importance as it should be. Then, this project has been developed also with the purpose of knowing if the students apply the listening techniques and how these techniques help them at the moment of taking a listening test. To analyze and measure the listening skill level of the students, it was necessary to use the listening section of the TOEIC test. In addition, a survey was created to know general information about the entire population and to discover the level of knowledge students had about the different listening techniques.
