Perceptions of ESL Learners of Teaching Listening Skill at Intermediate Level in the Context of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
The present research study investigates the problems in teaching English listening skill to the students of English as a second language at the Intermediate level in Tehsil Batkhela, District Malakand. The study was carried out in ten government degree colleges of District Malakand, Tehsil Batkhela. A quantitative approach was adopted to get reliable results for which two hundred students among the whole population of intermediate level were selected. Data was collected through an open-ended questionnaire. Findings of the study revealed that there were shortcomings in the teaching methods of the teachers for teaching English listening skill. Moreover, it was also observed that students were not satisfied with the methods used by their teachers. Furthermore, the lack of utilization of supplementary materials was also one of the problems in teaching English in the ESL context. The study recommends that ESL teachers should be properly and frequently trained in teaching listening skill
