Teaching Listening Skill With Limited Resources

Abstract

#

Listening skill is considered to be the fundamental of the four skills. The learner will not be able to communicate well unless he is trained to listen. However, it is noticed that this skill tends to get neglected in the language classroom. This paper suggests some principles to improve the teaching of this skill interactively and effectively where resources are limited such as the lack of audio tapes and other teaching materials. To accomplish this, it is suggested to take into account three main factors. They are input, transition notes, and output.
