The purpose of this study was to find out students' problems in listening comprehension. This study used a qualitative method with a case study research design to find out the students' problems in listening at SMKN 1 Keluang, Musi Banyuasin. Data were collected through interviews with five students, selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed thematically. This study found seven problems experienced by students in listening, including problems related to listening materials, basic linguistics, listener concentration, physical characteristic, listener, speaker, and physical setting. To enhance English learning, educators can employ innovative teaching approaches that focus on developing the four key language skills, thereby making the learning process more engaging. Meanwhile, students can boost their language proficiency by expanding their vocabulary, practicing effective listening techniques, and receiving guidance from their parents.
