This article discusses teaching and learning Listening English, especially teaching and learning Listening to children which play an important role on language acquisition.  Listening is always referred to as a boring lesson. Most of students are always feel trouble before trying Listening lessons. This is a challenge for us as English teacher. Here we must make the class become more interactive. Listening is the basis for the development of all other skills and the main channel through which the student makes initial contact with the target language and its culture.
