Listening in the Classroom - E-book - ePub

This booklet deals with the undeniable importance that listening comprehension has in learning English. The need to understand spoken language is one of the reasons why millions of people want to learn English. Inasmuch as teaching a language entails listening to it, educational programmes incorporate more elements of listening. Besides, at present we rarely find course books that are not accompanied by audio recordings.
These recordings bring tasks which turn the students into active participants in the process of listening. Meanwhile, teachers take part in this appreciation of the value of listening by giving students exercises to train their listening skills.
