Teaching Listening Skills in the classroom

What is Listening Skill?

‎Listening skill means understanding spoken language. ‎It is the first step of language learning and helps students understand, respond, and communicate effectively.

‎Why Listening Skill is Important?

‎🌺 Build comprehension (understanding meaning).

‎🌺 Improve pronunciation and vocabulary.

‎🌺 Enhance speaking skill because students learn natural sentences by listening.

‎🌺 Make classroom communication active and student-centered.

‎Types of Listening (Important for TSC Exam + Classroom Use)

‎1. Global Listening – listening for the main idea.

‎2. Detailed Listening – listening for specific details.

‎3. Selective Listening – listening for certain information (name, date, number).

‎4. Critical Listening – listening to evaluate and judge.

‎5. Creative Listening – listening to imagine and respond (stories, poems).

‎Method: The Three-Stage Listening Process

‎A. Pre-Listening Stage

‎It is a stage before listening and the main purpose is to prepare students’ mind for the audio. Teacher should:

‎🌺 Show picture/visual.

‎🌺 Ask simple questions: “What do you see? What might happen?

‎🌺 Pre-teach difficult words.

‎🌺 Tell students what they will listen for.

‎🌺 This activates their background knowledge.

‎B. While-Listening Stage

‎While listening stage the purpose is to help students understand the audio. Teacher should:

‎🌹 Play the audio or read the text clearly.

‎🌹 Give a task such as:

‎‎🌺 Tick the correct picture

‎🌺 Fill in the blanks or True/False

‎‎🌺 Answer short questions

‎🌺 Match information

‎🌺 Allow students to listen 2–3 times

‎‎This is the main listening practice stage of listening skills.

C. Post-Listening Stage

‎‎The main purpose of this stage is to check understanding and extend learning.

‎🌺 Ask students to summarize what they heard.

‎🌺 Let students discuss in pair or group.

‎🌺 Ask follow-up questions.

‎🌺 Do speaking or writing activities based on the audio.

‎‎This stage connects listening to speaking and writing

‎Classroom Techniques (Practical & Relevant in Nepal)

‎🌺 Use short and simple audios suitable for the grade level.

‎🌺 If no audio device, teacher can read the text with clear pronunciation.

‎🌺 Give clear instructions before playing audio.

‎🌺 Keep background noise low.

‎🌺 Use real-life listening examples: announcements, phone calls, dialogues.

‎🌺 Encourage students to guess meaning from context.

‎Useful Materials for teaching listening skills

‎🌺 Textbook audio clips

‎🌺 Teacher’s own reading

‎🌺 YouTube short audios and videos

‎🌺 Real-life sounds or conversations

‎🌺 Stories, rhymes, poems

‎Role of the Teacher (According to TSC Nepal)

‎‎🌺 Act as a facilitator, not a lecturer.

‎🌺 Guide students through all three stages (Pre-While-Post).

‎🌺 Create a positive learning environment.

‎🌺 Provide feedback after listening tasks.

‎🌺 Encourage active participation from all students.

‎‎By following the three-stage method and using simple, clear activities, teachers can make listening lessons successful, interactive, and aligned with TSC Nepal’s teaching-learning expectations.
