Speaking and listening skills

Hi bloggers !!! 
 The ESL skills that I have focused on my lesson is speaking and listening . Here I have some advantages of both : 

Advantages of using speaking tasks in the language classroom.
ADVANTAGE 1: Speaking provides opportunities to practice all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).
ADVANTAGE 2: Speaking supports development of critical thinking skills.
ADVANTAGE 3: Speaking promotes learning.

 Listening: as a communication skill
Listening is one of the most important communication skills
We probably spend more time using our Listening Skills than any other kind of skill
Like other skills, Listening takes practice
Real Listening is an active process
Listening requires attention

Week 10

Hello everyone ! I want to share something with you . Read it :)  “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” – Confucius It is easy for teachers to spend so much time and energy focused on their students’ progress that they forget to consider their own performance. Self reflection can be a valuable tool that helps make you aware of how you are teaching, which in turn makes you a better teacher. Teaching without reflection is teaching blind – without any knowledge of effectiveness. It can be difficult and time consuming for teachers to scrutinize their performance, but like any other occupation it is essential for improvement. Asking deliberate questions, reflecting on the answers, then implementing changes on how you approach your teaching based on your reflection  differentiates decent teachers from great teachers.
