Research suggests that listening skill is prerequisite to other language skills, speaking, reading, and writing. Listening should be the primary skill to be acquired in learning a new language and there are major reasons for the listening-first approach. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the importance of listening and to examine whether or not using the Korean alphabet improved the accuracy of English dictation performed by a group of Korean college students. A total population of 120 students was divided into two groups, control and experiment. The experiment group transcribed the English utterances on a practice TOEIC tape into phonological writing in Korean and then later transposed the Korean writing into English words The control group transcribed the English sounds only in English without using the Korean alphabet. Statistically significant differences were noted in the accuracy of dictation when the students used the Korean alphabet, especially for the beginning and intermediate students. Statistically significant results were not produced for the advanced students.
