This document discusses considerations and solutions for teaching listening and speaking skills. For listening, it addresses the mental block some students have and encourages them to listen for short periods multiple times a week. It also discusses using movies to improve listening by exposing students to different accents and dialects. For speaking, it notes that students feel peer pressure and are overly worried about mistakes. Having small group conversations about familiar topics can help reduce this. The document also addresses difficulties non-native English speaking teachers may face, such as students not understanding everything, and provides suggestions like avoiding slang and making lessons engaging through activities.
