Reading, listening, watching

– I often read long texts on new subjects in my own language. – I find it easy to find information I want in texts in my own language. – As a teacher, I often base my lesson on reading or listening. – My learners generally find listening activities more difficult than reading. – My learners find listening difficult because of the speakers’ accents. – I often do listening activities at the end of my lesson. – I use video in my lessons now as well as audio-only listening.
