Teaching listening

listening is the most important skill. That is very clear in our daily life. For example , when a pregenant woman suddenly hears noisy , she reacts or does a sudden movement so her baby will respond and begins moving. Why ? Because he hears sounds.

In the classroom , the essential point is that students need to be able to understand what is said in order to function satisfactorily in the situation. One way of doing this task is that students talk to themselves through a routine day and try to note all the different listening situations that occur, for example to make an interview with his friends, to listen to the news , to read the instructions.
One of the reasons of why students listen is ( listening for comprehension ) , and the aim of listening for comprehension in the classroom is that students should learn successfully in real-life listening situations ( as I mentioned before ) , and what sorts of things the student needs to be able to do in order to comprehend in a very successful way in a variety of situations.

- Using pictures , drawings , letters to be circled is a good way of teaching listening.
- Using signs , gestures helps also .
