As students navigate the demands of academic responsibilities alongside digital interactions, cultivating strong listening abilities can significantly enhance their cognitive processes and information retention. Active listening not only aids in understanding complex concepts but also equips students to excel in their chosen fields. Moreover, it fosters a collaborative classroom atmosphere by encouraging the recognition and integration of diverse viewpoints, thereby enriching academic discussions.Without these essential skills, students risk becoming disengaged learners, missing out on deeper educational experiences. Embedding targeted listening skill training within the curriculum is not just beneficial but critical. Such initiatives counteract the disruptive influence of technology, promote a more interactive learning environment, and prepare students to meet the demands of both academic and professional contexts.This discussion delves into the strategies, obstacles, and remedies for incorporating listening skills into India's higher education system. It underscores the role of listening in enhancing academic comprehension, retention, and overall success. Indian universities have employed approaches like multimedia tools and structured listening exercises to strengthen students' auditory capabilities. However, barriers such as insufficient faculty training, oversized classrooms, and limited curriculum emphasis on listening skills remain prevalent. Proposed solutions include faculty development initiatives, revising curricula to emphasize listening skills, and leveraging technology to address these challenges and boost student outcomes effectively.
