spoken communication.
Effective language instructors show students how they can adjust their listening
behavior to deal with a variety of situations, types of input, and listening purposes.
They help students develop a set of listening strategies, activities and match
appropriate strategies to each listening situation.

What different types of listening activities are; and what strategies we can adopt
for improving listening skill in English Language.
