On importance of listening activities at English lessons

This is the latest version of this item.

It has never been a secret that students’
success at any lesson depends on their
interest in the subject. That interest can
be directly influenced by ingenious in
-
structions. Achievements in the class
-
room are the result of the subtly thought-
out inspirational work of a teacher who
guides them and shows the right way. A
lesson providing a lot of useful informa
-
tion can be
rational
but it might not be
inspirational
; especially if the students do
not show much respect to the study mate
-
rial. The key is motivation. Like bookcas
-
es full of valuable books that become the
best kind of decoration for a living-room,
much of the “precious” information in the
heads of our students become useless; a
kind of noisy background that affects
their attitude to studies.
