As far as we know, nowadays world standard of language teaching is focused on teaching four main aspects (listening, reading, writing, and speaking) of foreign languages including English. This article covers a number of definitions related to listening skills, and types of listening skills followed by the theory identifying listening skills as one of the receptive skills. At every stage of learning a foreign language, there is a significant role in listening which defines target learners’ interest and attitude towards the second language not only in the learning process but also while making a communication in real life. Because listening plays a vital role to avoid misunderstandings between people whose native languages are totally different. Above mentioned statements mean that all pedagogues should be aware of the theoretical information of listening such as types of listening, what listening is, and as well as teaching listening to learners effectively.
