THE PROBLEM OF LISTENING

• FEEL WE ARE FAILING IF WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD - THIS CAN CREATE WORRY AND STRESS

• CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND IF PEOPLE SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY

• FIND IT HARD TO KEEP UP WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION COMING THEIR WAY

• GET VERY TIRED DURING LONG LISTENING

THE SOLUTION• LISTEN TO SOMETHING YOU ENJOY

• LISTEN FOR THE MAIN IDEAS

• LISTEN FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION

• IDENTIFY STRESSES AND REDUCTIONS

• GET MEANING FROM CONTEXT

WHY WE USE SONG?

• BECUASE SONG, ESPECIALLY ENGLISH SONG, GIVE US SOME BENEFITS.

• LISTENING TO THE SONG WILL ENTERTAIN US AND ALSO WE CAN IMPROVE OUR LISTENING SKILL BY LISTEN TO THE PRONOUNCIATION, DIALEG, DIFFERENT ENGLISH STYLE, AND DIFFERENT VOICES.

• IT ALSO CAN GIVE US SOME TASK BY USING THE LYRICS.

HOW TO DO IT?• MOST BEGINNERS GET DIFFICULTY DUE TO THE LACK OF VOCABULARIES, PRONUNCIATION AND

GRAMMAR.

- SELECT YOUR FAVOURITE SONG. IT HELPS PRACTICE THE LISTENING EASILY AND YOU CAN ANTICIPATE THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY.

- LISTEN WITHOUT READING THE TEXT/ DIALOGUE ONCE OR TWICE. WHEN YOU FIND DIFFICULTY IN GRASPING THE MEANING, LISTEN AGAIN WHILE SCRUTINIZING THE TEXT/ DIALOGUE.

- PAY ATTENTION CAREFULLY TO THE PRONUNCIATION AND INTONATION. IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR PRONUNCIATION, LISTEN AND REPEAT THE SONG BY PAUSING EACH SENTENCE.

• AFTER LISTENING TO THE SONG, DO THE EXERCISE AND CHECK YOUR ANSWER WITH THE SONG’S LYRIC
