There is no pre - listening

• It’s an interesting activity , because it belongs to the students needs , it speaks about problems and solutions .

It’s very difficult and boring for students in 12th grade , because

students don’t like to speak about maps .

Difficulty

pronunciation needs too much

time to explain & memorize

it needs more than one class

(period)in my opinion this

lesson needs to practice and

apply to pronounce it well

Why is listening a challenging task for ESL teachers and learners?

Solution problem

Put pre-listening question to make the lesson more simple & clear.

The lack of pre listening questions in the lower stage.

The teacher should try to give them key words and guidelines to clarify the task.

Some exercises are complex and higher than Ss level.

The teacher should be selective and tries to teach some of them briefly without a lot of detalis”general idea also to divide the taske & if the question not good the teacher can omitted it”.

Long tasks which confuse learners sometimes as they contain many skills.

the teacher can replace it or talk to the Curriculum centre to replace it by giving sth related to our culture & the

topic .

Irrelevant exercise.: .
