In this presentation, the role of listening attentively and listening with the aim to understand is discussed. Both the teacher and the students miss important things during the class interaction. Once I understood that myself, I started making few changes that resulted in better comprehension of what was going on in the class as well as promoting more learning. In this webinar, I will suggest some practical ideas to promote better listening results, thus more engagement with the learning of English inside and outside the class.
