1) Success comes from listening, not hearing. Agree or Disagree,

Why ? [1/2 page]  

 Agree. As we all know, hearing is the act of perceiving sound by the ear. However,

when it involves listening, it is something a person consciously chooses to do. This is

because it requires concentration from the brain which needs to be processed from

words and sentences so that is will form meaningful contents which also lead to

learning. When listening occurs and learning takes place, this may be the reason

someone achieve success.

 A famous philosopher once said, “Most people tend to be “hard of listening” rather

than “hard of hearing”. This shows that it is very easy for someone to hear to something,

but when it comes to listening, the person must need to pay attention to interpret and

respond in the end. When a person listens, it can trigger the brain cell to be active.

Here, the signals are conveyed through a dorsal pathway in your cortex, part of the

brain that does more computation, which lets you actively focus on what you're hearing

and tune out sights and sounds that aren't as immediately important.Thus, ones can

build a strong knowledge base on the new information they listen.

Other than that, successful people believe that listening is the key factor to their

success in everything in life. However, the art of listening is often been taken for granted

by many people which may cause by the technologies nowadays which diminishing

people listening skills.

2) Role of the teacher to develop student's listening skill. How to

make the student become a good listener? [1/2 page.]

Listening skills can be developed in students through many ways. It is

important for the teachers to understand the effective ways to teach students in

becoming a good listening according to their own potentials and interests. As

teachers, one of the ways that we can use in enhancing the students’ listening

skills is allowing students to practice the full repertoire of listening strategies by

using authentic listening tasks. For example, using radio, televisions or even

creating dialogues as well which creates two and one way of communications.

Other than that, teacher needs to encourage the students by using the target

language in conducting every business in the classroom. For example, theteacher can use English in making announcements, handing out tasks,

describing the contents of topics and also in formatting a test.

If we look into a different perspective, as teachers, we need to assume that

the students need to be exposed with the strategies on how to develop good

listening skills. For example, the teacher gives them the awareness about the

importance of practicing the listening skills in their daily life. By this, they will be

more alert on how to improve the listening skills.
