tailieunhanh - The National Curriculum Handbook for primary teachers in England

Although listening has played a crucial role in foreign language learning, it has often been neglected by instructors (Osada, 2004). Nevertheless, listening examination has been included in most English proficiency examinations, such as TOFEL, TOEIC and GEPT, which implies the importance of listening. Listening comprehension is a difficult task for foreign language learners to master due to the interference of first language and the limitation of listening. | The National Curriculum Handbook for primary teachers in England Key stages 1 and 2 Jointly published by Department for Education and Employment Sanctuary Buildings Great Smith Street London SW1P 3BT Qualifications and Curriculum Authority 29 Bolton Street London W1Y 7PD First published in 1999 Crown copyright 1999 Qualifications and Curriculum Authority 1999 The National Curriculum Programmes of Study and Attainment Targets contained in this publication are subject to Crown copyright protection and are reproduced with the permission of the Controller of HMSO.
