Factors affecting listening

Abstract

In this chapter, the author looks at the difficulties that stem from listening materials in terms of affecting listening. To be able to select or create effective listening materials, some of the vital points that need to be known are the difficulties that stem from listening materials. Providing that we know what and how they affect listening, adequate listening materials can then be selected or created. To this purpose, first, the author looks at them in detail to see clearly from what components listening materials might consist. Afterwards, they focus on and diagnose the problematic features, find out what difficulties these elements cause in listening, and show how such problems can be overcome.
