71. Breaking It Down: The Listening Domain

It is important to be aware of each of the different areas of the brain that are activated as your students learn English. We need to help our students view their brains as a muscle they are strengthening! Over the next few weeks, we will be breaking down the 4 language domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. In my opinion, the listening domain is the most important domain to focus on in the language learning journey. However, it's the most commonly overlooked of the 4 domains! In today's episode, we will discuss what makes the listening domain so critical, how the brain learns a language, and what to expect of your students' listening at each language stage.
