Listening Skill Activity

Activity showing listening skills being practiced Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Mirzapur

It should not be difficult to realise the importance of listening when we consider that it occupies about 45 percent of the time adults spend in communication. This is significantly more than speaking, which accounts for 30 per cent, and reading and writing, which make up 16 per cent and nine per cent respectively.

Listening will help you to improve your understanding of the language and your pronunciation.

Yet, for all its importance, students (and even teachers) often fail to give listening the attention it needs. This is all the more remarkable as learners often say that listening is the most challenging of all the skills in English.
