Teaching Academic Listening Skills Doesn’t Equal Teaching Note-Taking
Abstract
Fifty percent of what learners do is listen. In this theoretically-driven, qualitative study, 4 experienced ELTs from university-based IEPs were observed and interviewed to examine what kind of attention they give to teaching this imperative skill within integrated-skills classes. Findings reveal a mismatch between theory and practice, and solutions are explored.
