Abstract
The study is a survey work on some classroom
practices in the teaching of Listening Comprehension in
Selected Senior Secondary Schools in Kogi by L.G.A. It set
out to examine the techniques, activities and materials
used for teaching the skill and also to identify
problems encountered during Listening Comprehension
Lessons.
The subjects of the study were students and
teachers of English in the Senior Secondary Schools.
The two main instruments of the study were questionnaire
and classroom observation. In the questionnaire, the
opinions of teachers and students were sought concerning
the teaching of Listening Comprehension. Lessons were
observed to examine the techniques, activities and
materials used for teaching the skill.
The analyses were done using frequencies and
percentages. The results have shown that teachers teach
the skill but mainly for examination purposes. The
findings also revealed that the most common technique
used is "reading aloud" and the most used teaching
material is the "teacher's natural voice", while
"listening to passages from textbooks" is the most
used activity.
Among the main recommendations are:
Teacher Education Programmes should incorporate the
teaching of Listening Comprehension into their English
Language Programmes. Also teachers should teach not
just for examination purposes alone, but they should be
responsive to the student's needs and the realities of
the second language situation in Nigeria.
