TESOL teachers' listening suggestions to students - TESOL

You may not realize that listening is a skill. Even in our mother tongue, if a person has a cold, speaks quickly, or has background noise, it is difficult to understand what he is saying. It is much more difficult to listen to others speak a foreign language. It is difficult to distinguish words. The connected voice can change the voice. Native speakers often speak very fast. If you are a low-level learner, the whole sentence sounds like a word! Because listening is an important aspect of learning a foreign language, the fact that you can't understand what a person is saying can be frustrating. If TESOL teachers find that your students lack motivation due to lack of listening skills, then give them some listening suggestions to make them feel better about their progress and improve.

Here are some TESOL teachers' suggestions on listening:

1. Practice makes perfect - listening is a skill that takes time to develop, but it will not be improved without investing any time and energy. Try to listen to English every day, even if it's only a few minutes. You will soon see progress.

2. Listen while reading - while listening, read the transcript of the text, which will help you connect spoken and written language. Listen and read the text several times. After several times, you can read the text while listening, which will help you feel the rhythm and intonation of the language.

3. Understand connected sounds - connected sounds will affect the way we string words together. Assimilated sounds, omitted sounds and connected sounds are just a few examples to illustrate how sounds change according to their position in a sentence. Understanding the different aspects of connecting sounds will help to recognize individual words in sentences.

4. Use real materials - practice listening with real materials. This will help you adapt to natural speaking speed and different accents. The more you come into contact with natural language, the easier it is for you to understand it.

5. Learn communication skills - in real life, listening is not a one-time process. Learn how to ask for clarification, get repetition, and how to communicate your lack of understanding. These are the natural listening strategies that native speakers use in real life to help you with your listening.

6. Pay attention to pronunciation - if you learn the phonetics and phonology of a language, you are more likely to recognize sounds when you hear them. Spend some time practicing your pronunciation and your listening will improve.

These TESOL teachers' listening suggestions can make your listening improve and improve.
