MASTERING THE SKILL OF LISTENING: TECHNIQUES AND BENEFITS

Abstract

Effective oral communication in the classroom requires comprehensible speech. To enhance comprehension, teachers should assess students' language abilities, modify their speech, provide dedicated comprehension time, and incorporate visual aids. Writing exercises can also gauge listening comprehension. Utilizing a recorder allows teachers to record listening exercises, including native English speakers with different accents. Students should practice note taking to capture key information. Collaboration between educators and learners, as well as learner participation, is crucial for success. Overall, these methods enhance students' listening comprehension abilities and foster logical thinking, broadened perspectives, and speech fluency.
