    • Comprehensible Input
    “for language learning to occur, it is necessary for the learner to
    understand input language which contains linguistic items that are
    slightly beyond the learner’s present linguistic competence.
    Learners understand such language using cues in the situation.”
    (Richards, et al., 1985)

    Teaching Listening
    • Listening is an active, purposeful process of making sense of
    what we hear. Language skills are often categorized as receptive
    or productive.
    • Speaking and writing are the productive skills. Listening, along
    with reading, is a receptive skill.
    • We acquire language by meeting language that is a bit higher
    than our current level. Listening was seen as a major source o f
    comprehensible input.
    • Language learning textbooks began including listening activities
    that were not simply presentation o f language to be produced.
    They were listening activities for input, the beginning of the
    kinds of listening tasks common in books today.
