Not only formal education, but also established relationships in business and community life are closely related to listening (Özbay, 2014). Listening skills, which have many functions, are considered the key to success (Doğan, 2016). For this reason, it is thought that this research was prepared by field experts which includes suggested activities that can be used to develop students' critical listening skills contributing to the education field.
