By the time you’ve gone through a few of these worksheets with your class, you’ll start to see distinct improvement in many of your students’ listening skills. Our 2,950 listening worksheets will provide your class with all kinds of opportunities to work with spoken English in all its forms, and gain exposure to a variety of regional accents, speaking speeds, and topics. Whatever your approach - or set of approaches - to listening exercises, has worksheets just for you. Many teachers try to combine all these approaches, so students will get the most varied listening exposure possible.
Still others encourage their students to speak naturally with each other, and write down what their partners say. Others bring in CDs or play online videos, and ask the students to transcribe as many words as they can catch. Some teachers sit at the front of the classroom and speak in slow, measured tones, as the students write out every word they say. The question of how, exactly to approach that, though, isn’t always clear.
If you want to teach your class effectively, you need to teach them listening. Even so, listening is a crucial component of modern ESL teaching, right up there with grammar, speaking, and writing. Scoring high on a grammar quiz may be a piece of cake, but it’s not always easy to make out every word a native speaker says - especially when that speaker is talking at normal speed, without pauses between words. Listening can be a challenge even for experienced ESL students.
