Abstract
¿Esas son Reebok o son Nike? Developing powerful listening skills in the classroom.
Listening is, undoubtedly, the most difficult skill to master, since while we have control over what we say, we have no control at all over what syntax, vocabulary, or pronunciation others will use on us. Moreover, our own native language may be playing a number of “dirty” tricks on us when it comes to decoding a message, and here a myriad of elements may be at play: from our interlocutors´ tempo of delivery, their diction, our culture and our presuppositions among others. Maybe we can give the whole question a fresh look and a twist to help our students build more powerful listening!
