The importance of listening comprehension in the learning of the english language

Autores: Velazquez Hechavarria Nelson, Sanchez Roberto

Fragmento

Any modern man needs to know at least a foreign language besides his own, not only as a means of cultural enrichment but for the practical reason of getting in touch with the socio-political and scientific-economical activity of other cultures. For this reason in recent years scientists and phylosophers have aimed a bit more of their attention to the problems of communication. We cannot expect our learners to speak English without first of all hearing English. The language heard acts as a model for the spoken language to follow. However, the relationship is not direct between the heard "input" and the spoken"output". So given the spoken input. What does the learner do?. Until he is at a fairly advanced level he finds difficulty in understanding everything bombarding his ears. He in fact hears, that is, he perceives only restricted number of items.
