Theoretical Framework

1.- What are the difficulties a student has in a listening activity?
To separate speech from non-speech sound seems a real achievement: the other parts of the process which we take for granted in our L1 - dividing an unfamiliar speaker's utterances into words, identifying them, and at the same time interpreting what the speaker meant and then preparing an appropiate reply- now become formidable tasks.

2.- How can we avoid those difficulties?
*The syntax of the utterance has yo be grasped and the speaker's intended meaning has to be understood.
*We also have to apply our linguistic knowledge to formulating a correct and appropriate response to what has been said.

3.- Do you think it is important to learn a second language?
Yes, I think it is really important, because we can learn another culture and we can be able to communicate with other people; L2 could be more important for the society if our native language is not spoken by a big part of people.

1*What is listening comprehension?




Mention one of the problem a second language learners face?



is that even if we have carefully rehearsed a particular utterance and manage to produce it to a native speaker, it may well result in a torrent of language from the other person.

What do you think about native speakers accent?

I think that they speak so fast and beause of this we cant understand nothing, and maybe they dont have the patient to understand a L2 speaker.

Are there listening problems if you dont have a good English level, explain why?

yes there are, because you wont understand nothing what is the exercise about.Also because there are some words that we dont know what is the meaning, and during the exercise we lost time just thinking but sometimes inferring can help to have an idea.





2*What is successful listening?



What are the difficulties a student has in a listening activity?

To separate speech from non-speech sound seems a real achievement: the other parts of the process which we take for granted in our L1 - dividing an unfamiliar speaker's utterances into words, identifying them, and at the same time interpreting what the speaker meant and then preparing an appropiate reply- now become formidable tasks.

Yes, I think it is really important, because we can learn another culture and we can be able to communicate with other people; L2 could be more important for the society if our native language is not spoken by a big part of people.



3*One view of listening:the listener as tape recorder





What is the listener as tape recorder about?

Is when the student reproduce the information but not always understand it.



What do you understand as listening comprenhension?

is the ability that the listener's use for remember the message that they received.



What is the problem with the tape recorder in the comprehension of the message?

the problem is if we can be sure that the listener has understood what was said.



4*An alternative view of listening: the listener as active model builder.







What does the mental model listening involves?

It involves different methods so that students can practice their listening and they can have a bit more of this language.Learners can know more about this, for example: pronunciation of the words, social context to have a closer look.

What do you do understand by coherent interpretation?

I understand when students has knowledge about it, and it must be clear so that they can recognize all of this and they can try understand, and they do not try to guess the information or invent some things about the language.

What is the effect a listening has on speaking?

I think it has a lot of importance on Speaking and on the others skills because student can learn better with this model and to practice their pronunciation, to improve their reading, it is so helpful because they learn vocabulary and different thing that they need in her learning about this or different language
