Factors Affecting Audience Success 
The success of listening depends on: 
1)
From the listener himself (from the degree of development of speech hearing, 
memory, from his attention, interest, etc.). The listener's skills to use probabilistic

forecasting transfer the skills developed in his native language to a foreign one. Of 
great importance are such individual characteristics of the student as his 
resourcefulness and quick wit, ability to listen and quickly respond to all kinds of oral 
communication signals (pauses, logical stresses, rhetorical questions, etc.), the ability 
to switch from one mental operation to another, quickly enter in the subject of the 
message, etc. 
2)
On the conditions of perception (temporal characteristics, quantity and form of 
presentations, duration of sound). Depending on the target setting, preceding listening, 
the perception will be either passive or active. In the latter case, the listener will be able 
to quickly engage in “search activity”, successfully put forward hypotheses, test and 
correct them, it is better to remember the logic and sequence of presentation. The target 
setting can have both positive and negative effects on the nature of perception and 
memorization of the content, i.e. it can make perception more accurate or vice versa, 
erroneous if the listener, under the influence of the expected, ascribes to the perceived 
phenomena non-existent signs. 
3)
From linguistic features - linguistic and structural - compositional difficulties of 
speech messages and their correspondence to speech experience and students' 
knowledge. 
Thus, listening is a complex receptive form of speech activity. This process has 
a number of difficulties associated with the process of perceiving speech by ear, 
memorizing it, its pace, and the nature of its presentation.
