Abstract

Listening skill is the least researched language skill. Most of the published studies include theoretical information about this skill. The fact that individuals have acquired some theoretical knowledge does not mean that they will use them effectively in their lives. In very few studies, listening activities were suggested and implemented. Moreover, there are no recommendations and practices of activity in the literature related to critical listening. In our age, which is accepted as the age of persuasion and propaganda, the effective and efficient use of critical listening skills has gained great importance. Developing critical listening skills is possible through the use of different methods / techniques and classroom activities. For this reason, it is thought that this study which is prepared by field experts and which includes activity suggestions that can be used to develop students' critical listening skills will contribute to the field of education.

 

Key words: Education, critical listening, activity, suggestion.
