| Summary: | Thesis (MTech (Education))--Cape Technikon, 1998. === Adequate listening skills as an indispensable communication skill
positively affect the learning process. Adequate listening skills are
essential to lecturers' teaching and students' learning performance at
technikons in the Western Cape. The standard of training/education
in listening skills of lecturers teaching English at technikons in the
Western Cape has raised concern, as it is considered a vital skill in
the learning process. A questionnaire completed by lecturers
teaching English at these technikons suggests a lack of adequate
listening skills when assisting students in the learning process.
As points of departure, information was collected on how lecturers can
enhance appreciative and creative listening; what teaching strategies
the lecturer can use to encourage students to listen constructively;
whether workshops are conducted to improve listening skills; whether
training is available for this purpose at certain technikons; and
whether the use of audio-visual material in a listening programme will
assist in more effective student listening. This information was then
processed in terms of the aims formulated for this study.
