| dc.description.abstract | In this study an attempt was made to investigate the materials used for teaching-listening skills in the student-teachers context of Awassa College of Teacher Education. The required data for the study were gathered through document analysis, questionnaires, interviews and classroom observation. Document analysis was made using checklist. To support the information obtained through document analysis, questionnaires were distributed to 6 English language instructors and 43 first year English language linear program students of the college. Besides, semi-structured interview questions were held with 3 instructors and 10 observations were held based on structured checklist. o A qualitative analysis was employed on: the information obtained from document inspection, the open-ended questionnaire for the students and the interview with teachers. On the other hand, a quantitative analysis was employed on students' and instructors' responses to the close-ended questionnaire items. The information obtained from the classroom observations was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. o The analysis revealed that the sub-skills of listening that are included in the listening skills course materials do not seem to be adequate as compared to the micro-skills that are required of the student-teachers in their academic listening environments. The study also showed that some of the objectives stated in the syllabus were not properly addressed in the listening course materials. Finally based on the conclusions reached, it has been recommended that course materials, particularly listening skills materials need to be prepared considering the academic listening needs of the students that are required of them in their academic context. | en_US |
