Unit 7 Listening
In unit 7, I learnt about how important listening is. Listening is a receptive skill.
It involves responding to language rather than producing it. There are
different listening subskills
they are the following; listen
for gist/global understanding, specific information, detail or to infer attitudes, Also, there
are two ways of listening as listening
intensively and extensively.
When we talk about listening some aspects are consider as important parts for
example, the intonation,
phonemes, hesitations, stress, connected speech, gestures and so on. On
the other hand, there some activities that are related with listening as for
example introductory activities,
main activities, and post-task activities. These activities require learners to
use some of the language they have met in the class. Teachers can use authentic materials in order
to practice listening with their learners. The materials are CDs, DVDs. It can
be very useful because learners are exposure to a rage of accents and speeds of delivery. In order to
apply this knowledge with my learners, I will let them to hear short dialogues in
which they can identify the intonation, stress of native speakers. In this way
they can improve their listening skill.

Monica, I believe that listening is one of the most important skills even though few people like it. Moreover, it is a receptive skill that needs to be encourage in the classroom. Language comes to our brain bringing a lot information through listening.
