Different Types of Listening Materials

Abstract

Listening texts can be classified according to the contents, complexity,  authenticity, sphere, theme, quantity, etc. The linguistic and thematic level of  listening input and its adequacy to general teaching purposes or concrete goals of  each lesson are defined by a sort of criteria. The main language and content  elements of the particular listening text mostly provide the style and type of  working on it, though this does not exclude the general approach.
