The assessment of L2 listening ability has presented testing specialists with many challenges, particularly as theories of language, language learning, and language teaching have changed in recent decades. This study discussed the testing of L2 listening comprehension ability through a review of relevant literature and identified research topics and approaches found in the L2 listening assessment field. Later, this study focused specifically on the Korean context and discussed how English listening ability has been tested in Korea. That is, this study explored the ways in which English listening ability has been assessed and some problems, concerns and challenges connected with such testing.
