LISTENING TO TALK SHOW; HOW TO IMPROVE LISTENING COMPREHENSION

A.     INTRODUCTION

There are many experts’ opinion and many ways to improve the comprehension of listeners. I think listeners can improve their comprehension if they do some exercise in many times and ways, and use some strategies in listening. There are several ways by Miki Garcia (1993) such as; listen daily, watch English films, and speak daily.

Listen daily. There are countless ways to listen to English online, such as CNN, BBC World, radio stations, and so on. Try to listen attentively, take a note, and summarize what has been reported. If you didn't understand it, repeat it again. If you find real life English a little difficult, find something easier.

            Watch English films. If you are a beginner, watch it with English subtitles. If you are learning American English, then stick with American films. Do not translate into your native language. Try to think in English while watching by using an English dictionary. If you are into sports, watch sports in English through satellite or cable TV.

            Speak English daily. Speaking, listening, writing and reading abilities go hand in hand. Increase vocabulary everyday. Set time for studying English every day, for example 30 minutes before going to work. Try to have a conversation with English speaking people as often as possible. If you don't live in an English speaking country, make an effort and be proactive. Enroll in English classes, attend English forums, join English-speaking expat groups, and volunteer to speak with English-speaking tourists, and so on. Learn about your country's culture and history, so that you can explain them to foreign tourists.

            This project is about my experience in listening to the talk show. It will present the content of the text and discuss how I improve my comprehension to the talk show.
