Anxiety in English Listening Comprehension Experienced by First-Year Students at International School Vietnam National University 
Van Thanh Lai, International School, Vietnam National University

Language learners rely on listening comprehension to not only understand second language (L2) speakers but also to comprehend a variety of L2 multimedia and publications. Meanwhile, listening is critical in the development of second language acquisition (SLA) (Goh and Vandergrift, 2021). However, due to various factors related to the test style, listening skills in Vietnam high schools have received insufficient emphasis. As a result, students may not have many opportunities to practice listening and develop effective listening methods, which can lead to a variety of challenges when joining a university fully taught in English like International School, Vietnam National University. Students face numerous challenges when learning this subject due to heightened expectations from lecturers and tight course requirements. Furthermore, in order to achieve B2 level by the end of the first year, many students are concerned with English listening comprehension, which they must study during that year. This study used questionnaires and interviews methods to examine the situation, determine the major reasons of worry among first-year students when listening, and offer ideas to assist them overcome their nervousness.
