TITLE: AN OVERVIEW OF SERVICE – LEARNING AS A PROBLEM SOLVER FOR LISTENING DIFFICULTIES IN ENGLISH CLASSES AMONG BACHELOR OF EDUCATION TRAINEES IN INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT: This research examines the listening challenges faced by B. Ed trainees in English. A purposive sample of 120 students was selected from the Madurai District for the study. The data were analyzed using Pearson Coefficient Correlation, Mean, Standard Deviation, and t-test. The findings indicate that there is no significant difference in listening abilities between boys and girls; however, a significant difference exists between urban and rural students regarding their listening skills. Additionally, there is no significant difference in listening abilities between married and unmarried students. A notable correlation was found between listening difficulties and achievement scores in English among B. Ed trainees. It is anticipated that a Service-learning approach may effectively address these challenges and enhance learning outcomes.
