Introduction:
Listening is an essential skill in second language acquisition. However, many English learners often encounter difficulties in understanding spoken language due to various factors such as accent, vocabulary, and cultural differences. To improve English listening proficiency, it is vital for educators to explore effective teaching strategies. This paper aims to examine and advocate for the application of Discourse Theory in English listening teaching.

Conclusion:
Discourse Theory provides a valuable framework for English listening teaching, enabling educators to help learners comprehend spoken language more effectively.
