Listening

Greenhouses, Gardens and Jungles – 2

2 de junho de 2019

Taking the DELTA has changed me as a teacher in many ways, but I believe that it has most influenced the way I perceive and teach listening.

by Carla Arena

Have you ever considered the good side of waiting in line, being stuck in a traffic jam, waiting at the doctor’s office? Well, you might feel mad, impatient, or even cranky. But wait?

by Natália Guerreiro

Do you have students that complain they can’t understand the listening tracks until you let them read the transcripts? The solution could be in Richard Cauldwell’s work, which has been brought to my attention by my dearest Higor Cavalcante.

Are we teaching listening or just practising it?

29 de outubro de 2017

The Listening Skill – Part 2

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. Teaching methods emphasized productive skills, and the relationship between receptive and productive skills was poorly understood. Richards (2005) provides a clear description of how listening comprehension is achieved by native or non-native listeners....Read More
