Join the “TAFL Talks” conversation titled “Teaching the Listening Skill: Practical Experiences and Insights for Application” by Dr. Shahira Yacout (The American University in Cairo), moderated by Dr. Nesrine Basheer (UBC Asian Studies).
The discussion will address key questions, including: What challenges do teachers face in teaching listening skills (such as material selection)? What are the main difficulties encountered by L2 learners when listening in Arabic? What criteria should guide the choice of audio materials (authenticity, length, speed, topic)? How can critical thinking be integrated into listening activities? And how can listening serve as a gateway to real communicative situations inside and outside the classroom?
The event will be presented in Arabic.
