TEACHING LISTENING COMPREHENSION IN ESP COURSES AT NON-PHILOLOGICAL HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Аннотация

This article explores the methodology of teaching listening comprehension within English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. It highlights that developing effective listening skills among first-year students relies heavily on the use of task sets. When designing these tasks, educators must consider the role, objectives, and alignment of listening within the educational process. Given the high proportion of students’ independent study time—including listening—these task sets should include detailed guidance and instructional notes (listening guides).
