Abstract:The present study is done to examine the effect of chunk learning on students' listening comprehension. Based on the nature of the study, the null hypothesis was proposed, chunk learning has no effect on (TOEFL) listening comprehension. In order to test the null hypothesis, a sample of 60 students was chosen. They were randomly put into two groups (experimental and control). Members of each group were randomly assigned to one of the following conditions; first the experimental group was given the same passages containing multiword in the passages of experimental group and the control group that we did not give them any passages in multiword. The design used for this study was a quasi experimental one. An English Language Test was administered at the beginning to ensure the homogeneity of the two groups in language proficiency. Then a pre-test was done to measure the student's knowledge of multi words. After the treatment which took 20 sessions,30 minutes per session, the same pre-test was administered as a post-test to measure the effect of the treatment. Analysis of the calculated normality test (K-S), descriptive statistic of pre-test, paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test for experimental and control group provided us with the judgment to reject the null hypothesis. In other words, the result revealed that: chunk learning (multi words, verbs idioms and collocations) has a significant effect on listening comprehension ability.
