Over the course of my teaching career I have learned much from observation and experimentation with my students. I owe an eternal debt of gratitude for their willingness to cooperate with me over the years.
Thank you, dear students!
EFL Teachers: No matter how good a particular resource or lesson may be, in the end, there is no substitute for the teacher’s own judgement about what works and what doesn’t work with your students.. In this spirit, I recommend the activities for teaching the four skills contained within these pages.
Teaching Listening Requires Skill
Listening. Teaching listening is easy. All you have to do is put the CD in the CD player, and press Play. Piece of cake.
What’s that, you ask? Why do so many students have problems when it comes to listening? After all, don’t some people talk differently? Some speak fast, others slowly. Some have a British accent, others have a US accent, then there’s the Australian, the Canadian, the Irish, and etc. etc. etc.
OK, so maybe teaching listening isn’t so easy after all…
