The difficulties and solution

in teaching and learning English

through listening Presented by: Manly

I Introdution

We are studying and teaching English in a country where English is considered as foreign language So we don’t have

many people who speak native English and we are not used to speaking as well

as listening native English daily

There are a lot of factors that effect on

teaching and learning a foreign

language especially English

Today, I would like to discuss on some

difficulties and solution in teaching and learning English through listening

As we know, like reading, listening is

a receptive skill where the purpose is

to comprehend or understand what

someone else might be saying There fore, when teaching listening there

are some difficulties occured

Firstly, , Vietnamese has different sound

system from English We don’t have

/s/,/Ө/ sound at the end of any words Students also get difficulties with multi – syllabic words, stress ( words stress,

sentence stress), pronouncing the last

consonants, linking sounds and consonant clusters Hence, students find hard to get information when they are listening

 To solve this problem, the teachers must be

emphasized on teaching phonology carefully and be sure that students are well-educated in phonology

Secondly, lacking of knowledge of vocabulary and culture relates to getting information in listening comprehension Shortage of

vocabulary barriers students from getting

information When listening they have to stop

to think as they meet new words and then they will miss the next information

The speaking speech and the voice of native

speaker which make a big hole to understand

the context I deal with the accent, intonation, stress, assimilation, elision and epenthesis

We really know that even people from parts

of a country have problem while listening to the others.

 In order to solve this, students themselves should practice listening everyday using tape recorder, CD player or from the radio, TV news and when they are listening they

should aim on the main idea and sometimes neglect some words to guess the main idea

Thirdly, students’s mood is a big problem with them during the process of perceiveing and

reacting upon the information The learners

can not keep on the information, the speed of speaking when they feel nervous, unconfident

or unself-controled That means they can not get the following information They fail in

listening

 The teachers should let students be in a good mood, in a listening environment Students

must be familiar with the topic that they are going to listen

Finally, the material facilities, teaching

document ( even teaching method) and

language environment may take a big

influence on the result of teaching and

learning English through listening Students are not approached the modern technology equipments, over crowded classes and

different level of students also make

dificulties to the teacher and students to

carry out a listening lesson

 The consultants and experts should give

suitable teaching document

and the teachers should use useful methods to teach students

The school leaders should pay more attention

to the facilities They must equip

classrooms with enough modern devices

In conclusion, to achieve a sucessful teaching language lesson needs not only efforts from the teachers and students but also teaching document and facilities I’ve shown some difficulties in teaching and learning English which occur during my teaching process

and I also have given some suggested

solutions
