Chapter I. Theoretical bases of teaching listening…

Conclusion
The term "auding" became basic for this research. Auding is the process of hearing, recognizing, and interpreting spoken language. It should take a very important part in the very beginning of learning foreign language.
In this course paper we consider the theoretical and practical value of the listening techniques, and their role in developing ESL and EFL students' listening skills.
In the theoretical part the most interesting and useful listening techniques have been listed. In this course paper was investigated the process of listening, how to teach it as one of the most difficult and the most important types of speech activity, the ways to overcome the difficulties that students faced by. A special place in this course paper has been given teaching listening through various exercises and online programs, and the most interesting approaches to teaching in-depth listening.
Practical part presents different types of activities which can help the teacher to organize listening activities at the English lesson. A lot of different techniques which help students to improve their listening skills have been studied.
We presented the classification of listening activities which has become basic for the present course paper:
In showing a considerable variety of listening activities we have explored some of the many ways to help students acquire the confidence to use their skills for self-expression in language situations. Different activities and procedures provide the development of the listening for communicative tasks and for extracting general or certain specific points in the discourse.
We have stressed the importance of careful selection of practice material for testing listening skills of the learners. It is necessary to construct different types of practical exercises for students to experience language. Listening comprehension tests present an effective method for developing listening abilities.
As a result of the present course paper we accomplished the set aims:
- we studied listening as the ability to identify and understand speech;
- considered the most common listening comprehension problems;
- we found the most appropriate solutions to the listening comprehension problems;
- distinguished types of listening activities;
- planned a lesson based on the most effective listening comprehension strategies.
The present course paper is an attempt to systematize teaching listening comprehension strategies and techniques, to reveal the most frequent difficulties with listening from students' points of view and to model a lesson taking into account these details.
