Abstract: Teaching listening skill has largely been neglected in many classrooms where English is taught as a foreign language. This study attempts to investigate the core factors that influence learners’ listening comprehension skills. For this study, a descriptive research design and a mixed research approach were employed. In this study, 109 respondents participated at St. John Baptist De La Salle Catholic School, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A survey questionnaire was used for primary data collection. The collected data were analyzed with the help of SPSS version 26 and Excel. The findings of the study revealed core factors of students' listening comprehension, such as factors related to students, teachers, classroom environment, curriculum, and lack of target language exposure. This result highlights the need for further investigation in integrating technology effectively to enhance students’ listening comprehension.
