25、icipate what kind of question / information they might hear. Repeating listening Most tasks require repeated listening to a single passage. Different tasks are based on the same information as a way to help learners develop different listening skills. In addition to these, teachers may want to have
26、learners listen to a passage more than the prescribed number of times in order to help learners prepare for a task, accomplish a task, or even focus on total comprehension after tasks have been completed.
