LISTENING IS ONE OF THE MAIN OPPORTUNITIES IN LEARNING ENGLISH

Abstract

Language consists of four modalities - listening, reading, writing and speaking. They are interrelated. Learners increase their ability to listen, speak, read & write by becoming involved with language. Among language teachers these modalities are known as the four "skills". The term "skill" simply means ability of expertness.
Judging the roles of the four skills we may say that listening is that component of language with which every living being begins the learning process and we depend on throughout our life.
