the skills of listening that received training, the available
opportunities of training and the skills that received no training. The
analyzed content consisted of all the listening questions in the Arabic
textbooks from the first grade until the 12th grade. The number of
these questions was (830).The tool of the study consisted of four lists
of listening skills, three of which designed for the three circles of the
primary stage, while the fourth list was designed for the secondary
stage totaling all together (75) listening skills.The results of the study
showed that the listening curriculum gave training to (82.6%) of the
skills, and left the rest with no training. Moreover, the opportunities
of training were not equivalent, and there was an obvious difference
between them.
