to learn is the ability to listen closely and comprehend
what they have heard.
As a teacher, students' listening skill levels can make a
difference in their performance as well as
the class atmosphere.
- Listening exercises may be considered the first -
stage in learning a second language -
- Learners today exist in an increasingly multimodal -
environment. Mobile devices provide
extra levels of flexibility for such learners, providing -
them with both auditory as well as visual
input– allowing them to learn anytime, anywhere and -
while doing anything

book or pages that add to clutter and can get

More mobile than sitting at a computer work
station. Was able to relax in own environment.

reaching wide audiences
