UNIT 7 LISTENING

This unit was about listening skill which is a receptive skill that is often implied as a component of speaking. It's an essential process of receiving, constructing meaning from and responding to language rather than producing (Tyagi, 2013). Furthermore, the most important thing in this unit was that listening refers to be able to understand different text types such as conversations, stories, instructions, advertisements, etc. Also, learners need to be able to understand a variety of speed of speech and accents. On the other side, there is a variety of listening subskills. Learners need to be able to listen for specific information (time, telephone numbers, etc) and sometimes for more general understanding (stories, novels or social conversations) (Harmer, 2007). 

To sum up, listening is good because it helps to improve student's pronunciation where I would apply many sources based on CD, tape or via MP3 players. Besides, I would encourage and motivate my students to listen as much as possible where they will be able to acquire a good pronunciation and some speaking habits.
