Listening comprehension is a core component of communicative competence in foreign language learning and plays a crucial role in successful language acquisition. Despite its importance, listening is often considered one of the most challenging skills for learners due to factors such as speech rate, unfamiliar vocabulary, and lack of contextual knowledge. In this article, some of the best practices that develop listening comprehension in FL learning are going to be explored. This research investigates modern pedagogical approaches (such as authentic materials, pre-listening exercise, task-based listening, and digital technologies) through a qualitative-analytical framework. These findings suggest that a systematic and learner-centered implementation not only significantly enhances listening comprehension skills but also enhances overall language proficiency.
