Annotation
This article examines the role of self-study in improving listening skills among non-philological students, particularly students of the tourism direction. In modern higher education, listening comprehension has become one of the most important components of communicative competence because it enables learners to understand spoken language in academic, professional, and real-life situations. For tourism students, effective listening skills are especially essential due to the international and service-oriented nature of their future profession. However, classroom instruction alone is often insufficient for developing strong listening abilities, especially in non-philological education where English classes are limited in time. Therefore, self-study activities play a significant role in supporting language development outside the classroom.
