المستخلص:Linguists and specialists in the field of linguistics do assume that the knowledge of language is the base for learners in order to use it in different communicative tasks. This ,however, is not proved true all the time due to the fact that some learners have a sufficient knowledge about language, but they fail their tasks in communication. Consequently and to achieve reasonable understanding, intelligibility represents a vital point of consideration for English foreign language methodologists. What is noticed in this respect is that the Iraqi advanced learners do seriously undergo the serious problem of misunderstanding the communicative situation when they are involved in certain a communicative task with the native speakers of English. Thus, the present study emerges under the shade of such a phenomenon . Accordingly, it enables the researcher to obtain an insight into the learners' abilities and points of weakness in the speech intelligibility with the native speakers of English, since that the intelligibility of oral language represents one of the ultimate goals of learning foreign language. Moreover, Nilson (2011:63) sees that “the teaching of listening comprehension as a skill is still overlooked in English language teaching”processes.The reason behind the learners' problems of listening comprehension is attributed to the fact that “universities{that teach foreign languages} pay more attention to linguistic competence including the English Grammar, reading and vocabularies” ,having away,on the other hand ,the multiple-processes and aspects that lie within the realm of listening comprehension such as speech recognition and interpretation. In this view, it is presupposed that these multiple processes such as the pragmatic factor do impede speech intelligibility and the awareness of them shows better intelligibility.
