Summary of Theories and Practices of Teaching Listening to Young Learners
In terms of theory, there is an opinion of (Paul, 2003) which says that it very important to teach as much listening as they can.however, there is a positive and negative impact of this. The positive impact is, the Young Learners can be lack confidence and positivity. But the negative impact is, Young Learners can’t improve during learning takes places. And so that the Young Learners can learn more, parents are advised to play videos or movie for them.
And from the practice side, the students can listen the new words first, but they also can read that at first. The students can listen, spelling, and practice like the teacher. Listen activity from Paul theory is categorized into three parts. The first is dictations (like bingo games and chopstick spelling game). The second is stories, and the last is TPR.



STRUCTURED TASK :

1. I will consider about how to make all students focus and participate actively in learning. Because if students are active and focused it will be easy for the teacher to provide the material.

2. Because in learning speaking, we can’t be separated from listening too. For example, in listening there is learning with a TPR method. And in speaking too, TPR is one of the methods taught to the YL.

3. Teacher can do more practice for the young learners, I will to try to apply the practice of listening and repeat. Because the YL can easily understand and learn. For example:
Teacher : What is this? (while holding blue book pen)
Student : That is book Ma’am
Teacher : Ah yes, this is a book. What color of this book?
Student : Blue Ma’am
Teacher : Yes, it is blue color. But, not all books are blue (while showing other colors)
