Description
Summary:The present study attempted to find out the effects of pre - listening activities on listening comprehension tasks in the training program to non - English major students of grade 10 at Bac Ninh Gifted high school. The survey was randomly conducted with 7 teachers of English and 105 tenth form students in 5 classes whose major subject is not English. The data used to analyze in this study were the participants’ answers to questionnaires, to some interview questions and the researcher’s observation in four listening lessons. The resul ts of the study show that both teachers and students at the school highly appreciate the importance of pre-listening activities. Besides, some activities that are the most frequently used by the teachers are also considered the most effective on listening comprehension tasks in the training program by students. They are pre-teaching vocabulary and structures; guessing the topic of the listening text and questioning. Moreover, some effective techniques teachers often use to implement these activities are really helpful . After taking part in pre-listening activities, students get better results of listening comprehension tasks.
