DEVELOPING MULTIMODAL LISTENING SKILLS IN ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC (OR SPECIAL) PURPOSES: A PEDAGOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Manzura Shamsitdinova , Associate Professor, Tashkent State University of Law, UzbekistanAbstract
In the context of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), the development of multimodal listening skills is increasingly critical due to the prevalence of multimedia communication in professional settings. This article proposes a comprehensive pedagogical framework for enhancing multimodal listening abilities in ESP learners. The framework is built on key components including needs analysis, the use of authentic materials, an integrated skills approach, leveraging technological tools, scaffolded learning, active listening strategies, and feedback mechanisms. By incorporating these elements, educators can effectively prepare learners for the complex multimodal interactions they will encounter in their specific fields. This approach not only improves listening comprehension but also facilitates a deeper engagement with language in context, ensuring that learners are equipped with the necessary skills to succeed in their professional endeavors.
