Listening involves making sense of the meaningful sounds of language. In the classrooms teachers must incorporate listening activities to help students to performance in this skill but it is required a process to understand many sounds from different information  of text types for example conversations, songs, instructions, lectures.  As we know the accent and dialect of  languages around the world are totally different,  also in this skill we have to use linking words and sounds to transmit the message clearly that everybody can understand.  As in reading we have reading subskills in listening too such as listening for gist/global understanding, specific information, detail or infer attitude (speaker´s attitude is expressing). Furthermore, the use of many resources listening task to apply with pupils. Nowadays English books contain a CD with listening activities to help them in their pronunciation for example identifying different phonemes, minimal pairs, word stress, sentence stress. Listening activities follow these patterns like introductory activities, main activities and post- task activities. I will read aloud stories to pupils while they are listening at the same time they have to draw things that they listen, so it helps students to develop their listening, also I will use worksheets with missing words so I will play an audio it means that they must pay attention carefully and complete the task I would like to use these kind of activitives to develop their listening skills.
