INTRODUCTION Listening, together with speaking, reading and
writing is one of the four skills in language learning. As a means of communication, listening plays an important role in people's lives. We have to listen to many utterances in our everyday life; conversations will take place only when we can understand what our interlocutor says; although input (listening and reading) alone is not sufficient for acquisition, input is absolutely necessary for second language learning. English listening teaching is a major focal point for foreign language experts and scholars.
Why Listening so related to Reading?
Receptive Skills
Productive Skills
What makes listening so difficult?
Clustering Redundancy Performance Variable Contracted Forms Colloquial Languages Rate of Delivery Stress, Rhythm, and Intonation
Guidelines for teaching listening skills
Grade difficult levels appropriately. Effective listening makes Ss think. Effective listening gives Ss a reason to
listen. Teacher should use a wide range of
listening sources. Prediction should play a vital role in
teaching listening.
Guidelines for teaching listening skills
Source to teach listening should be easier than reading one.
Activities should be teaching not testing the students.
Pre-listening activitiesPre-listening activities

While-listening activities
Listen and tick
Listen and sequence
Listen and act
Total Physical Response: for beginners “Stand up”, “Point to the …”;
for intermediate learners “Pretend you’re …(doing something)”
Listen and draw
Listen and fill
It is important NOT to overdo this type of tasks, since it gives students the impression that they need to understand every word.
We may ask the students to fill in the blanks with function words, say, prepositions.
Listen and guess
e.g. For height, appearance, and
personalities Four clues about an animal
Some types of post-listening activities
Multiple choice questions Answering questions Note-taking and gap-filling Dictogloss
Multiple choice questions
Answering questions
Open-ended questions and inference questions can be asked.
Note-taking and gap-filling
for a summary of the text
Dictogloss
Preparation: briefly talking about the topic and key words
Dictation: for two times, first time focusing on the meaning, and second time taking extensive notes
Reconstruction: working in pairs/groups, reconstructing the text
Analysing and correction: comparing their own version with the original
Summary on post-listening activities Don’t demand students to remember
more details than a native-speaker would in a real-life situation;
Don’t spend too much time giving students practise with traditional test-taking questions;
Integrate listening tasks with speaking and writing.
Conclusion
We must know the nature of listening, both in real language use and in language classrooms
Focus on the process of listening rather than on the result of listening.
Don’t merely test the memory.
