Hi everyone,
As you all know, many EFL/ESL learners suffer form poor listening levels. That fact can be traced back to improper teaching methods or syllabuses. So, I think it will be a good idea to assign this post for listening materials to fulfill the aims of this forum and to give this skill the interest it deserves. (Don't you agree with me that all the posts in our beloved forum focus mainly on reading and writing ??) I will start with this simple listening tests. They work this way : have your speakers or headphones ready, click on the link, listen to the question and choose the relevant answer that you believe to be correct. The suitable answers will follwo the tests.
Thanks for being here, and I'm waiting for more listening materials from you.
