Preposition

I have a grammatical question that I can't understand the structure of the sentence exactly:
" You need to integrate both the key ideas and the important examples or details from the material you read or listen to "

My problem is that how we can use a preposition like "to" at the end of a sentence. Is it related to any subject in grammatical book?
Thanks

There is an understood relative that or which before 'you read or listen to'.

A very formal, and rather clunky, way of expressing this would be '...from the material which you read or to which you listen'.

well, "listen to" is a phrasal verb. It has the same meaning as "hear''.
But "Listen to" means listen attentively and actively
"hear" means listen but passively.

Leaving aside the question of whether listen to is a phrasal verb, it does not have the same meaning as hear.

If you listen to something, you pay attention to it in order to hear it.
If you hear something, you are aware of i

I read some texts, and they said like that.
And my E teacher said like that, too.
Listen to doesn't has all the same meaning as hear, of course. But in some way, it does.
listen to or hear , You see, they still mean listen.

No.

I am listening to my radio. I am not listening to the noise from passing trams but I can, unfortunately, hear it.

Your example is right, i cannot deny it.
I also said : listen to is active and hear is passive
But you have misunderstood what i said. I said that listen to doesn't has all the same meaning as hear, but in some way, it does. We are talking about the meaning not using.
And we cannot use this word instead of the another
