Introduction: Listening comprehension is a very important skill in foreign-language learning, since it makes learners be in contact with the language through the comprehension of an oral message, biased by phonological, prosodic, discourse-related and intercultural elements. It is particularly relevant for the training of interpreters-to-be, who must comprehend oral productions in a given code, to be able to re-express them in a different code. Materials and methods: The sample for the diagnosis consisted of 18 first-year students of the English Language with Second Foreign Language degree program at Universidad de Oriente in the 2022 academic year, in addition to 14 first-year students of the 2023 academic year. Results and Discussion: Nonetheless, in the dynamics of the teaching-learning process of listening comprehension, some difficulties limit the potentiation of this skill in the process of interpretation. Conclusions: Consequently, the study presented in this article aims at characterizing the state of the art of this dynamics, through the integrated evaluation of instruments applied in the English Language Program at Universidad de Oriente.
