Better Listening you will be able to:
TIME FRAME
You will need approximately 15 weeks to finish this module — eight weeks for
formal study and seven weeks for self-directed study — to complete all the recommended
activities.
This is a distance learning programme, thus the time frame is flexible and largely self-
directed.

ICONS
While working through this module manual you will notice the frequent use of icons
in the margin. These icons serve to “signpost” a particular piece of text, a new task or change
in activity; they have been included to help you to find your way around this module.
A complete icon set is shown below. We suggest that you familiarise yourself with
the icons and their meanings before starting your study.

Unit 1:
LISTENING
Introduction
In this first unit of the module on listening, we will illustrate a few activities that you
can use in your classroom to improve your students’ listening comprehension by making
them understand differences in pronunciation. As an English teacher, you might already be
familiar with the phonetic symbols for sounds in English.

UNIT SUMMARY
In this unit, we looked at a few important aspects of spoken English that JSS students
need to be familiar with. The skill of listening improves only when students have regular
exposure to the spoken form of the language. Also, practising pronunciation of words in
isolation does not help much, as in conversations people tend to speak faster and use certain
conventions like weak forms, for example. To enable students to understand spoken English,
you should use activities involving providing answers both while and after listening.
