  10. Types of Listening Materials • Authentic text: Generally , authentic texts are designed for native-speakers • Non-authentic text: It is for language students and is prepared under the assumption that beginner students will not properly be able to handle authentic text • Recorded Material : A disembodied voice is more difficult for a foreign learner to follow.But there are so many merits for a recorded piece.

  11. CAUSES OF DEFECTIVE LEARNING Poor vocabulary Inability to maintain attention Inability to understand pronunciation Inability to understand fast speech Inability to understand against background noise

  12. CONCLUSION Students usually find it more difficult to listen to ataped dialogue than to read the written material. He may be able to express himself orally,but will find it difficult to understand what said to him.Listening is considered to be a receptive skill but not passive.The listener is actively involved in this process,but is at the receiving end.The difficulty is mainly because of varied media to which the listener has to attend ,perceive and understand the idea.The listener must have acquaintance with a variety of spoken forms also.
