INTRODUCTION
It is undeniable that English has become an important and dominant global language. Like all other languages, English is used for communication, but in the widest range – in countries to countries around the world. Among that, listening is considered to be a crucial skill and a key to good communication. The ability to listen well is also considered helpful in improving the three other chief skills in learning English. The importance of listening is enormous because it has been considered the basis of every development of any other skills, which brings the first step to connecting with the target language and culture through it. However, it is one of the most challenging skills which requires much more considerable effort when listening to a foreign language because listening in our mother language comes to us naturally and effortlessly.
From the researcher's notice and observation, a large number of sophomores of the Faculty of Foreign Languages (FFL) admitted that they still have trouble with the listening subject and find it the hardest skill to master, although they have been studying plenty of listening periods in the school. Having learned English as a major, including the listening subject, these sophomores may hear many individual words, but they may also encounter a wide range of problems with their listening skills, which makes them unable to understand the utterances as a whole. Therefore, it is essential to find their problems and the reasons for those problems. The world is rapidly changing and bringing many benefits to make our lives easier and more effective.
1.The use of Mass Media in the English language teaching process
The need to study English language in modern society is emphasized in the article; analyzed the most effective methods and approaches of the use of Mass Media in the English language teaching, such as newspaper and magazine articles, TV, radio, Internet resources, specialized educational software designed to develop the skills of different types of speech activity — oral communication, listening, reading, writing, and skills of detailed analysis of the different styles of the English language.
There are a lot of countries in the world but languages which are spoken by their citizens are much more. In this case we speak about several thousands.
International languages exist for the purpose of communication and allow exchanging information and it does not depend on nationality or place of living. English is one of them. It is the language of international communication for all the humanity. That’s why it is difficult to revalue the importance of the English language in modern world.
The English language allows raising human mental capacity. It becomes possible to read the most outstanding works in the original, listen to music compositions which are known all over the world and understand their meaning. Thus it is rather difficult to imagine modern world and our life without the English language. It firmly comes in it and completely changes the view of communication in general.
Major part of Internet pages with necessary information spreads in English. Major part of computer programs and applications are made up in English either. Expressing feelings and emotions, naming subjects and events, using household devices and modern technologies are called in English in everyday life.
2. Investigating the Effects of Mass Media on Learning Listening Skills
Understanding the differences between written language and spoken discourse can assist us in inferring the effects they might have on students who are learning to listen to English. Firstly, Scarcella said spoken discourse happens “on the spot and instantaneously”. The listener must process the information immediately, and there is no chance to review it. Therefore, the listeners are required to have constant attention as the time to process information is much more limited than reading a text. Secondly, the sounds of the language are also one of the most confusing features of spoken discourse. Underwood indicates that foreign listeners may fail to distinguish or even fail to hear sounds which are unknown or unusual to them. According to Underwood, They may find that “sounds are distorted, or elided, or lost altogether, as the speakers concentrate on the message rather than on their diction”. In addition, the variety of the speakers’ accents also contributes to the difficulty in understanding spoken texts Richards.
In real-life listening, more than just understanding the topic is needed. Every day we need to listen for specific information. Therefore, teachers must require their students to listen for details as well. stated in this task learners need to "pay selective attention to those details only and to filter out anything that does not relate directly to those particulars". Brown indicates that teachers can set this task by giving some eliciting questions to the students to figure out a specific detail in the listening text. A third important reason for listening is listening and making inferences. That is, as Brown points out, important aspects of meaning are sometimes implied rather than stated since speakers do not always say exactly and directly what they mean. Listeners have to "listen between the lines" to figure out what is really meant. This requires much of students' language background knowledge. Teachers can help students practice listening between the lines also by asking and eliciting questions so that students can infer the meaning themselves. The idea of knowing the purpose of listening and presenting listening tasks is an extremely effective strategy to teach this skill, as it helps students develop a sense of why they listen and which skill to use to listen effectively.
3. The Use of the Media in English Language Teaching
The most important human resource is the learning effort of the learner himself, in terms of time, intensity, efficiency and appropriateness of that effort. All other components in the system are evaluated by their effect upon these learning parameters. A system which makes it possible for the learner to work longer, more intensively, more efficiently and appropriately will be more highly valued than one which does not. It is rather difficult to assess the social cost of learner effort. So much depends upon the competing claims upon that effort. Even leisure learning is achieved at the expense of other satisfactions and attainments. Where language learning requires, say, an executive or a highly skilled craftsman to interrupt his professional employment the direct socio-economic cost may be very high. The second human resource is the teacher, ie an initiate who organises, arranges and presents the material to be learned, checks on progress, provides feedback on performance and finds ways of overcoming learning blocks and difficulties, of building and maintaining motivation, fostering and controlling group dynamics. A third human resource is provided by the 'native informants', ie the members of the speech community who produce the behaviour to which the learner is assimilating himself, or a corpus of linguistic artefacts on which the learner models his behaviour, as well as the framework for direct conversational and pragmatic interaction.
There are of course certain difficulties with copyright and important organisational implications for educational and broadcasting authorities as well as perhaps, publishers. Books, though purely visual, allow for reference to and from the presentation of diagrams and tables, and can be illustrated, though only by static pictures. Reading does not impose strict time disciplines so the book is well suited to the presentation of compact and tabulated information for reference, or where the student needs a longish, indeterminate time to study or memorise a text or solve problems. It has the important limitation that it may actually make the student less able to cope with the problems of communicating in real time with which we are faced in conversation by encouraging in him the habit of keeping silent while he weighs his words and forms his thought into complete sentences. The characteristics of the optimal learning system for a particular situation will largely depend on the one hand upon the value placed on the result of learning, and on the other upon the relative value or cost of the various kinds of human effort concerned the learner's time and effort, the work of a personal teacher, the native informant, the producers and distributors of hardware and software.

Television is one of the best Mass Media of spreading information (political, cultural, cognitive and educational). It has great opportunities in foreign language teaching. In general television is a unique form of person's development.
