  2. Necessary for Conducting Research Background Knowledge

  3. State of the Art of TEFL in Schools • Ss’ problems • Ts’ problems • Effects • Efforts for solutions

  4. Main and Subordinate EFL Skills

  5. Listening • Listening implies the following processes: • 1. receiving sounds (hearing) • 2. Attending to sounds • 3. Assigning meaning to sounds • 4. Preparing a relevant response. • In this respect, listening is different from hearing
