Subject MEd
Description The purpose of this study was to investigate that what kind of classroom activities, technology and teaching strategies can improve language learners' listening and speaking skills. In my research paper, I addressed some really hands-on and interesting classroom activities to demonstrate that how to use kinesthetic and naturalistic teaching strategies to design fun activities to motivate students to speak and listen. From my finding and data analysis, I noticed challenges such as culture conflicts and learning mainstream knowledge in a brand new language. Consequently, the students are learning knowledge while learning how to speak and listen another language. The findings shows that re-teaching, technology use and multiple learning styles engagement are the three most important and effective strategies to motivate students to practice speaking and listening in the classroom. I provide some detailed suggestions and solutions for the teacher who is teaching language learners and recommendations for future research.
