This article theoretically analyses the role and importance of listening comprehension skills in teaching English in higher education. The article highlights the role of listening comprehension as an essential component of communicative competence in students' academic and professional activities. From an academic perspective, it substantiates that this skill enables students to participate in lectures, conferences, and international projects conducted in English; from a professional perspective, it serves as a crucial factor ensuring specialists' competitiveness. The article also analyzes the interrelationship between listening comprehension and speaking, reading, and writing skills, as well as the problems inherent in traditional listening comprehension exercises (artificial materials that do not reflect real-life speech). The article substantiates the need to pay special attention to developing listening comprehension skills in higher education and to systematically develop them in integration with other skills.
