Listening and speaking skills are fundamental determinants of an individual's academic success. The aim of this research is to establish the relationship between listening and speaking skills, and study how listening predicts and cognitively arranges speaking. The research was carried out using the quantitative pattern in correlational type. The population of the research consists of a randomly chosen sample of 662 secondary school students from the city of Aksaray in Turkey. The data were gathered and analysed using the percentage and frequency techniques and gender variance comparisons were made. Independent group t-tests, and variance analysis were used on grade, parental education status, book reading, TV watching and internet use. To determine the relationship between the variables, Pearson correlation coefficient was used and to determine the predicting relationship, simple linear regression analysis was used. The research found that girls have higher verbal communication skills and that the higher the level of parental education and the more time spent reading books led to an increase in verbal communication skills and self-efficacy, whereas the amount of time spent watching TV and using a computer had a negative effect on self-efficacy. Statistics show that listening skill is a significant predictor of speaking skill.

Celik and Yavuz (2015) say that understanding the nature of the language skills and how related they are a precondition for any successful learning / teaching process.…”

“…She also adds that only through listening to authentic materials by native speakers can learners produce correct pronunciation and learn how to improve their use of features like stress and intonation. A point supported by Bozorgian (2012) and Abbas (2013) who believe that listening is the basic and most essential skill in any English language process and that it has to be treated with more care and given more time.…”

“…The quantitative analysis of the correlation between the grades obtained by the listening and speaking tests proved that the two abilities are closely related which means that listening does have a positive effect on improving the participants' oral skills. Bozorgian (2012) conducted a study to shed light on the relationship between listening and other language skills in International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The grades of 701 participants in the IELTS were downloaded from www.ieltstehran.com.…”

This paper aims at exploring the relation between the two skills of listening and speaking. In addition, it tries to investigate the presence of any gender differences in this relation. To achieve these ends, the listening and speaking exams marks of (122) EFL students registered in the English 102 on-line compulsory course were analyzed using SPSS. The findings proved the existence of a positive relation between the two skills (r=0.433). The Independent Sample T-Test also proved that there were significant statistical differences at (α ≤ 0.05) level due to gender differences in the correlation between the listening and speaking abilities among Al-Balqa Applied University EFL students in favor of the females.
