ABIGAIL'S CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

  I have been teaching English for over 15 years now.Under normal circumstances, i should have been versed with classroom challenges by now but that isn't completely the case.I still have a number of setbacks as a teacher and I wish to overcome as many of them as I can.I know that my adventure in classroom research is going to help me confront most of these challenging teaching practices in due time. MY GREATEST CHALLENGE  As a well trained teacher I should consider all the four skills in my lesson planning and teaching.Unfortunately, teaching listening has always been a mystery to me.I hardly ever go beyond reading a listening comprehension text and the whole exercise is very boring because the learners constantly complain of not understanding the words and most of the time the whole text.I wonder how to tackle this.
