Teaching Listening Skill at UG Level in Mumbai University
A Case Study

Anjali Verma, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D.

Importance of Listening Skill

English teaching in India caters to the needs of large number of learners and there is an amazing variety among them. The total number of learners of English in India will be more than the total population of many countries in Europe. Teaching second language in a multicultural and multilingual country like India requires conscious strategies and constant efforts from both teachers as well as students.

The present paper deals with listening skill which is necessary for success in life and work. Listening is often considered as ‘passive’ receptive skill. In reality it involves complex mental processing in order for the listener to make sense of the material. Listening occurs more frequently than speaking, reading or writing and is just as demanding and important.

Listening is a very important language skill and a foundation for learning. We cannot ignore teaching this skill if we want out learners to be proficient in English. Mumbai is the commercial capital of India and students graduating from this university will be joining the workforce.
