Teaching Listening with ICT
Here, English is the universal language
and the government put English in the curriculum to draw up the young
generation for facing the global era.
Listening as comprehension is the
traditional way of thinking about the nature of listening. Indeed, in most
methodology manuals listening and listening comprehension are synonymous. This
view of listening is based on the assumption that the main function of
listening in second language learning is to facilitate understanding of spoken discourse.
We will examine this view of listening insome detail before considering a
complementary view of listening – listening as acquisition. This latter view of
listening considers how listening can provide input that triggers the further
development of second-language proficiency.
There are some website which can be used
for helping us as the would be teacher as follows.
Real
English is based on a very simple idea, the organization of spontaneous speech.
There are no actors here. All the people in the videos are simply being
themselves, speaking normally.
Michael
Marzio and his friends & teachers started interviewing people on the
streets of the USA, Great Britain, and other countries during school vacations,
came back to his language center in France, and edited the video according to
classic grammar structures & functions, in order to make the spontaneous,
authentic, seemingly fast speech usable by different levels of students,
including beginners.Classroom English is all too often "perfect" with
slow short phrases spoken on the audio and video materials used with students.
This is fine until the learners actually meet genuine Americans, British
people, and other Anglo-Saxons, to discover that nobody, in the real world,
speaks "classroom English".
The
idea was to take the shock out of hearing real English for the first time.
Since our students now watch and listen to real people, the shock is built into
the method itself, saving learners many hours of frustration during their first
weeks in new English-speaking environments.
English Baby is a social media for
learning English. The
site is arranged with some forums to do chatting with some friends who join it.
There are three main parts of English Baby. The first part is English lesson.
The learners will find some TOEFL Tips and Tricks. The second part is Find Friends.
This parts makes the site to be different from another sites because it allows
the learners to connect with another learners or teachers from around the
world. The third
part of this site is English, baby! It
is about the big outline of English Baby.
NPR

under National Public Radio. It
concerns of providing some information in
many topics such as politic, law and health. Besides the learner can enjoy the
