Listening skills need to be mastered with P R A C T I C E.

Listening and speaking is crucial for communication. Being able to listen to our interlocutor, responding, etc. Not only for our class, but for real life!



It's usually one of the struggles of language learners, but not everyone is aware of the fact that 'Practice makes perfect', and in our particular non-bilingual setting it makes it necessary to create and promote opportunities for practicing and reinforcing our ability to attain and understand the language at a normal speed, to get the most of the messages, and to be able to respond in a real-life communicative situation.
