Resources for teaching listening
In the classroom there are three types of resources for teaching listening:
Live speech (teacher’s speech (another teacher or guest’s speech), face–to-face interaction of learners in interviews, dialogues, etc.) Teacher should:
Speak foreign language a lot during the lesson
Pronounce sounds and words correctly
Use short sentences with pauses in speech
Speak with intonation
Stress important words
Use gestures, mime and visual aids (objects, charts, pictures, etc.)
Recordings on CD, tape or MP3 players as a part of a coursebook or as additional (authentic) material (announcements, radio and television programs, news broadcasts, weather forecasts, phone conversations, dialogues, songs, etc.)
Most of the recordings that coursebooks have are made in studios and contain adapted material. So they are not natural, authentic (e.g. speech is slower, words and grammatical structures are simplified). It is good at the beginning level: learners understand words, meaning of the listening material and feel comfortable.
But authentic listening is very important. It brings real life language and situations from outside classroom. Some authentic material should be used even at the beginning level and increased with each level. Learners of higher levels should be given listening material that is beyond their productive level. They should guess unknown words, do some activities and try to speak. In general, learners themselves must be ready for authentic listening and not afraid of difficulties.
