Abstract

This paper deals with Youtube and Ted Talks video resources focusing on pedagogics and relevant career development and their use in the classroom to develop listening skills of students studying Economics and Foreign Language. The authors took an insight into the concept of listening, examined mechanisms underlying speech and skills acquisition, presented classifications of types of listening, revealed difficulties teachers traditionally face while developing students’ listening skills, described stages in listening, classified and analyzed exercises to help learners develop their istening skills and abilities. The authors devised a plan of activities including exercises for each specific stage to improve students’ listening skills. The paper also describes an experiment on the use of video materials included in the system of exercises to develop and evaluate students’ listening skills.
