Listening comprehension is a critical skill for engineering students learning English, enabling them to understand lectures, technical instructions, and professional discourse. However, it is frequently a source of anxiety, limiting comprehension, participation, and confidence in classroom and workplace settings (Vandergrift, 2005; Elkhafaifi, 2005). Listening comprehension anxiety (LCA) is a distinct affective variable within foreign language anxiety (FLA), influencing both cognitive processing and affective engagement in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts. This study investigates the nature, sources, and effects of LCA among first-year engineering students at Kokand State University. A mixed-methods design was employed: the Listening Anxiety Questionnaire (LAQ), adapted from Elkhafaifi (2005) and Kim (2000), was administered to 42 students, while semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants to explore perceptions and coping strategies. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Findings indicate moderate to high levels of listening anxiety, with rapid speech, unfamiliar technical vocabulary, multi-speaker interactions, and fear of peer evaluation identified as primary triggers. Anxiety adversely affected classroom participation, note-taking, comprehension, and confidence. The results suggest that ESP instructors should scaffold listening tasks, incorporate authentic technical listening materials, and create supportive, low- anxiety learning environments. Addressing listening anxiety can enhance students’ engagement, comprehension, and overall communicative competence in English.
