Fulltext: 8.IKA FARIHAH HENTIHU.pdf (78.07KB) Isi artikel Listening is one of the most challenging skills for our students to develop and yet also one of the most important. By developing their ability to listen well we develop our students' ability to become more independent learners, as by hearing accurately they are much more likely to be able to reproduce accurately, refine their understanding of grammar and develop their own vocabulary. Mostly students will say that listening is difficult, if not actually admit that this is their weakest skill. The difficulty comes down to two main points. The first point results from the pace, vocabulary, phrases, grammar structures, and pronunciation is determined by the speaker. The listener has only one chance to catch the meaning of a word or phrase. Comparisons can be made with reading, because the writer similarly determines the language. However students can easily re-read passages, consult a dictionary, and generally work at their own pace. This simply isn't possible when listening. Teachers are the ones who create the problem with listening. Most listeningfocused activities use a scripted monologue or dialogue. The students begin with some preparation. They listen several times to the tape, then answer comprehension questions. Preparing students with more listening skills will give more positive and productive set of listening activities.
