Abstract: One of the problems that naval cadets usually encounter in English learning is listening. To determine the solutions, the problems that Thai naval cadets encountered in English listening comprehension were investigated in this study. A total of 89 cadets participated in this study, and the research instrument was a three-parts questionnaire: the first part sought general information ; the second part was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire about listening problems, divided into four factors ; the final part asked for suggestions on how to improve English listening skill. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed using the SPSS program and content analysis. The results indicated that overall problems concerning the four factors were at a high level. The biggest problems that the participants encountered were unfamiliar vocabulary from the content, various accents from the speakers, difficulty when listening for the first time, and exhaustion from their daily training. The instructors may apply the findings of this study to adjust their teaching strategies and find better ways to improve naval cadets’ listening skill
