Listening is a fundamental skill in language learning, and its development is a gradual process. The stages of listening—pre-listening, while listening, and post-listening—play critical roles in enhancing comprehension and communication skills. This article delves into each stage, exploring their importance and providing strategies to improve listening ability. The pre-listening stage activates prior knowledge and sets expectations, the while-listening stage focuses on active comprehension, and the post-listening stage reinforces learning through reflection and application. Understanding these stages is essential for learners and educators seeking to improve language skills.
