THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING LISTENING SUBSKILLS TO SCHOOL LEARNERS
Abstract
Listening is a fundamental language skill that plays a critical role in the language learning process, particularly for school learners. Effective listening involves more than simply hearing words; it requires the ability to understand, interpret, and respond to spoken language in various contexts. Teaching listening subskills, such as recognizing key information, understanding context, identifying main ideas, and interpreting tone and emotion, is essential for developing students' overall listening comprehension. These subskills help learners process language in real-time, improve their communication abilities, and succeed academically.
