Abstract

This research aims to: identify the listening skill level of students in Arabic language departments in colleges of education by achieving the objectives of identifying the listening skill of students in Arabic language departments at levels

 The researcher built the tests (research tool) for the listening skill, after reviewing the literature and previous studies related to the types of skill, as they consisted of four levels: direct, deductive, critical, and appreciative. (23) skills emerged from the levels, then the researcher transformed the skills into questions and performance levels in a (multiple choice) test. A sample of (340) male and female students was chosen for the research, and the results of the research showed the following: There is a statistically significant difference in the listening skill as a main skill, and thus the significance was in favor of the hypothesized mean, which is the lowest acceptable level that students should possess The researcher concluded that the skill (listening) took the lead among the Arabic language skills, and he recommended: building standardized tests that measure the sub-skills students possess in listening.
