LISTENING

In this unit we checked about listening, as everyone knows listening is another important skill that language has. First, listening is a receptive skills, it involves responding to language rather than producing. Listening is receiving information through the ears. It involves making sense of the meaningful sounds like: communication, conversation and speech, and after that to produce words and sentences. It involves understanding spoke language. Spoken language is different from written language because it is less planned than the written language. Spoken language is naturally free , it has a process to understand the sound. Both spoken and written language have different features because each of them is produced and understood in different circumstance. When we speak we make fillers, our utterances are complex or simple it depends on situation. Sometimes we send incomplete message. Second, the book teaches us the listening subskills, these are listening for gist, specific information, and detail or infer attitudes. Also. We can find others ways of listening like: intensively and extensively. Finally, listening is other type of skills that focused on understanding sounds and accent of the different dialects. In order to teach my pupils listening skills, I will use CD´s because in that way they can enrich they listening skills.
