Аннотация:
The role of prediction in listening comprehension is crucial in enhancing students' ability to process and understand spoken language. Prediction allows listeners to anticipate upcoming information based on prior knowledge, context, and linguistic cues, which can significantly improve comprehension. In the context of language learning, prediction strategies help learners to engage with the listening material actively and reduce cognitive load by making informed guesses about the content. This process not only fosters better understanding but also encourages learners to develop critical thinking and adaptive skills. The use of prediction as a technique has been shown to increase accuracy in comprehending spoken texts, particularly when learners are exposed to unfamiliar accents, fast speech, or complex topics. Overall, prediction serves as an effective tool in enhancing listening skills, particularly for intermediate and advanced learners.
