Description
Listening is the skill learners use the most, but language educators often receive the least preparation to teach this skill. Teaching listening means more than just giving students listening activities and checking for understanding-it means teaching them how to listen. Listening in the Classroom takes promising research findings and theory and turns them into practical teaching ideas that help develop listening proficiency.Key topics within this book include: metacognitive awareness for listening, understanding spoken speech, addressing listening challenges, fostering word recognition, identifying thought groups, taking academic notes, and listening in real life. Educators will find more than 50 activities they can start using with their learners right away!
