ABSTRACT

In the process of learning a foreign language in general, and the TOEIC learning test in particular,

listening ability, especially listening comprehension is plays an extremely important role . In

recent years, research into learning and teaching English listening skills has piqued Vietnamese

interest. However, there is still a lack of study on the key factors influencing the TOEIC listening

test of non-major English students at IUH. As a result, the aim of this research is to look into the

linguistic factors that influence the performance of the freshmen who are non-major in English at

IUH. Questionnaires are used as main instrument to collect data. Based on the findings, the

researcher proposes some recommendations for teachers and students to help students develop

listening skills and eventually improve TOEIC listening test scores as well as to help learners to

overcome their listening problems.

Keywords: Listening, Listening TOEIC test, Linguistic factors.
