Download or read book Developing Listening Comprehension in ESL Students at the Intermediate Level by Reading Transcripts While Listening written by Sydney Sohler and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listening is one of the key skills needed to be proficient in a second language (L2). Some L2 teachers support the development of L2 learners' listening skills by providing input in a different sensory mode (e.g., reading). Nevertheless, developing L2 listening skills using more than one sensory mode, may lead to cognitive overload. In order to provide effective L2 listening instruction, teachers need to know what learning strategies will help students improve their listening skills. This quasi-experimental study examined the benefits of reading a text while listening to it and the effect that reading-while-listening (RWL) has on an L2 learner's listening comprehension. The study was done with intermediate-level, English as a Second Language (ESL) students in two pre-existing classes at the English Language Center (ELC) in Provo, Utah, with one class using a teaching method that included reading and listening together and one class that did no reading, just listening. The results of this study showed that both the control group and treatment group significantly improved their listening comprehension skills over the course of 14 weeks. For the treatment group which had used RWL, however, their listening scores were not significantly different from those of the control group. The pedagogical implications of the findings for second language teachers teaching listening skills are also discussed. support the development of L2 learners' listening skills by providing input in a different sensory mode (e.g., reading).

Download or read book A Study of the Influence of Reading a Tapescript to Help Prepare and Develop the Acquisition of Listening Comprehension in English as a Second Language when Using Authentic Video Material with Intermediate Students at the CEGEP Level written by Denis Hébert and published by International Center for Research on Language Planning = Centre international de recherche en aménagement linguistique. This book was released on 1991 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation conducted in a rural area of the Province of Quebec (Canada) was designed to show that the assignment of specific reading tasks enhances the development of listening comprehension ability when using authentic video material with intermediate-level English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) learners. Using a pre-test post-test control group design, the study involved 53 students. It was found that through the use of scripted authentic video materials combined with specific reading and listening tasks, the ESL learners in the experimental group showed significant progress in listening comprehension ability. However, the ESL learners in the control group who were merely assigned specific listening tasks showed no significant progress in the same ability over the same period of time. It is concluded that reading a tapescript of video materials prior to viewing them prepares learners to recognize and decode what they hear. Appended are: a description of content in audio-visual materials and nature of listening tasks; vocabulary and expressions studies; and video quizzes. Contains 31 references. (LB)
Download or read book Teaching EFL Learners Shadowing for Listening written by Yo Hamada and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadowing, an active and highly cognitive technique for EFL listening skill development, in which learners track heard speech and vocalize it simultaneously, is gradually becoming recognized. However, there remain a lot of mysteries and misunderstandings about it. This book uncovers shadowing in terms of theory and practice. This book cements shadowing as a separate technique from other similar techniques such as Elicited Imitation, Mirroring, and simple repetition, and provides ample empirical data to explain the function of Shadowing. It also elaborates on how Shadowing should be used in terms of materials, procedure, and learners’ psychology, which would aid in instructors’ use of Shadowing in teaching. A guide on a method effective in improving learners’ bottom-up listening skills, this book will certainly prove useful to English Language learners and instructors in their linguistic pursuits.

Download or read book Listening and Language Learning in ESL written by Joan Morley and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of materials development for independent study in listening comprehension of English as a second language (ESL) begins with an outline of current directions in second language instruction. The discussion that follows has two parts. The first is a review of some changing perspectives on the role of listening in language learning and teaching, including historical notes, the distinctions emerging in the field during the 1970's, and the 1980's' emerging focus on the importance of listening. Part two presents guidelines for developing materials and examples of special listening activities designed for a segment of a self-study aural comprehension curriculum. The materials are intended for adult and teenage ESL learners at elementary and intermediate levels, and are designed to focus intensive attention on selected listening tasks in two broad categories. One is functional listening and vocabulary building, with an emphasis on understanding message content and intent in building vocabulary. This category is further divided into notional/informational listening and situational/functional/informational listening. The second category of tasks is structural analysis listening, with an emphasis on analyzing sound patterns, spelling patterns, and some grammatical elements. This category is subdivided into discrimination-oriented listening practice and sound-spelling listening practice. A bibliography is included. (MSE)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intermediate text offers a rigorous, academically-focused listening program centered around a series of high-interest lectures.
