Learning Log: Inside the classroom, 4th (21 July 2014)

On 21July 2014, I have learned about teaching listening. This group had presentation about teaching listening. They talk about strategies of listening and step to teaching listening skill that interesting for learning.
Listening is key to all effective communication, without the ability to listen effectively messages are easily misunderstood. Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. Listening strategies are techniques or activities that contribute directly to the comprehension and recall of listening input. Listening strategies can be classified by how the listener processes the input. Top-down strategies are listener based. Top-down strategies include listening for the main idea, predicting, drawing inferences, summarizing. Bottom-up strategies are text based. Bottom-up strategies include listening for specific details, recognizing cognates, recognizing word-order patterns. However teaching principles of listening is an important part such as make it explicit, model, and practice. Teacher given the importance of listening in language learning and teaching to help their students become effective listeners and students can fend for themselves in communication situations.

To sum up, teaching good listening skills is difficult as it is so difficult to define and exemplify, and few of us, even native speakers of English, really do it well. But by making explicit the qualities of good listening and then practicing it, students can become good listeners in English.
