Abstract

Listening plays a crucial role both in everyday communication and educational process. A successfully organized listening class which normally involves a wide range of pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening activities results in successful speaking and writing. However, listening activities require not only concentration, vocabulary and background knowledge, but some mental processes such as short-term and long-term memories. Two different kinds of processes are also involved in understanding spoken discourse – bottom-up and top-down processing. When designing tasks we should not demand that our students remember more details than a native speaker would in a real life situation.
