=======================================================================
This study told us in order to be a good listener,
therefore, we should virtually absorbs all the speaker’s meaning by being
sensitive to tone of voice, facial expression, and bodily action as well as to
the words themselves. Sincerity, depth of conviction, confidence, true
understanding, and many implications may well be revealed, regardless of the
words used. We also hope to gain information from listening to a speaker. Then,
are we able to evaluate the speaker’s ability. We are also able to consider the
speaker’s method to help us determine what elements we should adopt and what
elements we should avoid.
The author suggest teachers should use a variety of
techniques to help students learn good listening skills and acquire grammar and
vocabulary needed at their level. Developing adequate listening skills is an
important tool for language acquisition, and language teachers should utilize
this to guide their students in attaining language proficiency.
