Listening is the other receptive skill as well as reading and
likewise it involves the use of context
and to have knowledge of the world to understand what is being listened. Listening
is about understanding spoken language so as the writing skill, listening also
have text types we can be exposed to
conversations, stories, announcements, songs, instructions and many others. Listening
also involves understanding the different features
for example accents and the speeds that people use when they speak and the
amount of people talking in a conversation.
We have, or at least try, to process the information as fast as
possible because once it is said it disappears immediately
As teachers we can give learners the
opportunity to listen to many sources of spoken language which is not that
difficult because we constantly are talking to the students however we have to expose students to different speeds of
delivery and accents for them to be able to identify phonemes, word stress and
sentence stress.
one important thing to take into account is to know the purpose of the tasks we have in the classes. Specialy if we are going to develop listening skills since to develop it we should start with easy tasks and with time we would be able to challenge our students
