        <p>This study investigates the effects of anxiety and distraction on students‘ listening comprehension in an EFL context. The data were collected through questionnaires observations, and interviews with third-year students. The results show that most students experience nervousness and lose concentration during listening tasks, which negatively affects their performance. To solve this problem, the “Double Listening with Focus” method was applied and it helped students become more confident and focused and improved their listening comprehension.</p>

        <p>В данном исследовании изучается влияние тревожности и отвлечения внимания на понимание студентами аудирования в условиях EFL. Данные были собраны посредством анкетирования, наблюдений и интервью со студентами третьего курса. Результаты показали, что большинство студентов испытывают волнение и теряют концентрацию во время заданий на аудирование, что отрицательно влияет на их результаты. Для решения этой проблемы был применён метод «Двойное аудирование с фокусом», который помог студентам стать более уверенными и сосредоточенными, а также улучшить навыки понимания на слух.</p>

        <p>Ushbu tadqiqot EFL sharoitida talabalarning tinglab tushunishiga xavotir va chalg‘ish omillarining ta‘sirini o‘rganadi. Ma‘lumotlar uchinchi bosqich talabalari ishtirokida so‘rovnoma, kuzatuv va intervyular orqali to‘plandi. Natijalar shuni ko‘rsatdiki, aksariyat talabalar tinglash jarayonida hayajonlanadi va diqqatini yo‘qotadi, bu esa ularning natijalariga salbiy ta‘sir qiladi. Ushbu muammoni hal qilish maqsadida “Diqqat bilan ikki martalik tinglash” metodi qo‘llanildi va u talabalarning o‘ziga bo‘lgan ishonchini oshirishga, diqqatini jamlashga hamda tinglab tushunish ko‘nikmalarini yaxshilashga yordam berdi.</p>
