LEARNING LISTENING SKILL
2. History & overview
According to International Listening Association:
- 45% of a student’s day is spent listening
- Students are expected to acquire 85% of the knowledge they have by
listening
- Only 2% of the population ever received formal listening instruction
Students use listening skill in every subject and it will benefit them
throughout life
3. Listening in digital world
We are now living in a media-saturated age
- where how new technologies are affecting our perspectives on listening
and literacy
- how technologies are:
1) changing our view of what listening is
2) changing our view of the relationship between listening and literacy
and
3) changing our view of what a literacy program should be
4. Listening & technology
Audiobooks provide students an alternative way to acquire knowledge
and an opportunity to add a dimension to reading through listening
Digital technology allows interactive learning to take place
5. Recent curriculum developments relating to listening
Training in these skills has traditionally been neglected by many higher
education courses
Purpose of this training in the higher education curriculum:
- to produce graduates who can demonstrate skills based knowledge and
competences.
6. As language teaching has moved toward comprehension-based
approaches, listening to learn has become increasingly important
in the English as a second language (ESL) classroom (Van Duzer,
1997)
The central role of listening in this discipline has generated a lot of
research into the processes involved in second language listening
and comprehension (Field, 1998; 2004).
Considerable attention has also been given to the development of
techniques and tools to encourage the development of skills in this
area (Wilson, 2003; Hulstijn, 2003).
