Pre-viewing and critique.
Before
showing a film, it is best that the educator familiarize him/her with the
film. The teacher should make a list of words, phrases
the students might have
difficulty with or that might need explanation. Greeting a vocabulary handout prior to
viewing the movie familiarizes the students with words and phrases so that they don't
need to struggle to deconstruct the dialogue. After all, enjoying the movie is the
essential to developing strong listening skills.
It's also helpful to give the pupils some background on the movie. The teacher
can discuss things like the period around which the movie was made, by why director
decided to use a particular location, who the actors are and why theymade the movie.
With the DVD’s, there are often 'special features' that give
bits of trivia that the
teacher can share with the class.

During
the viewing, asking the pupils to watch for themes within the movie is
the most important (they may take notes to help them remember). After then teacher
can allow them to watch the movie completely through without interruption. One the
movie is over, allow pupils to sit for a few minutes, silently
processing what they
have seen and heard. Having them write down any questions they may have.
CONCLUSION
It is not easy to teach children listening skills as they are not obedient by nature.
But giving them interesting tasks, involving their attention by different activities a
teacher or a parent can interest them in this process. Choosing a certain approach of
teaching
that is related to their age, interest, wish etc. one can discover the newest
ways and approaches of teaching children listening. This
also will allow revealing
new features and talents which may be hidden in children’s character.
