Listening/Speaking Workshop
Presented by: Hanadi Mirza
Abstract
Teachers can help students better understand what
is being said and derive meaning from it more quickly by (a) becoming aware of
the listening process and (b) participating in various listening activities and
games. In addition, teachers will be able to help their students develop
strategies in acquiring meaning from spoken English and develop good conversation
skills through fun exercises. Therefore, students are able to (1) demonstrate
active listening skills, (2) increase understanding of spoken English, and (3)
speak English more naturally by learning basic patterns of speech.
