11 de abril de 2014

by Roseli Serra

“Listening is the Cinderella skill in second language learning”. (Nunan, 2005). For many years, listening skills were not prioritized in language teaching.

3 de abril de 2014

Three private students of mine recently proclaimed that they believed they had become less fluent since the beginning of our lessons a little over two months ago.
