International students prefer to listen to native speaker so that they can improve their listening skills and become as good as native people. Now, there are many methods we can use to improve listening skills, for example : dictation and shadowing.
Dictation is the act of speaking or reading that allow the people who listen, to write down what were being said. As the result, they can improve their writing skill, also they know which words they couldn’t listen to and concentrate on those words in the second time.
Shadowing is where speaking allows the people to try to say exactly what were being said. The consequence is that they can get used to the rhythm of English and practice their pronunciation.
We take exam such as ielts, Toefl, and many more which include American English, British English, Canadian English, Australian English. Therefore, listening to different types of English will enable us to widen our listening range and improve it at the same time.
We need to find our own way to improve our English skills because everyone has their own strength and weaknesses and then we will be able to study and improve our listening skill more efficiency.
To sum up, today, we discussed about the fact that it tend to be easier for international student to listen to people with the same nationality. Arguably, they still prefer to listen to native speaker as they can rise their listening level higher and faster.
