Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the application of the listening comprehension activities in Kosovo schools, grades VI-VII. Listening comprehension is a very important skill in the process of learning a foreign language, and it should be integrated and put in practice along with other skills, so that the students get a better and easier acquisition of a language. Developing only writing and reading skills in a language is not enough, because listening and speaking skills are the ones that matter when we communicate in the real world situations. That is why it is important to treat and practice all four of them with the same consideration while teaching a foreign language, in order to prepare students for a fluent communication in everyday situations. In my experience as an English language lecturer, I have noticed that many students that have excellent reading and writing skills have unsatisfactory listening skills. This is due to insufficient inclusion and application of the listening comprehension activities in the classroom, especially in the early stages of their education, which is a crucial period for development and enhancement of all communication skills simultaneously. In order to have a better view of my hypothesis, I have chosen five lower secondary schools in Gjilan and Deçan Municipalities, because at this level of schooling students should be exposed more intensively to the listening activities, as younger stages are taught basics of English mainly through pictures, drawings and songs.
