How To Improve Your LISTENING SKILLS | LBCC Study Skills 

I really enjoyed this video. I'm 78, have a masters in reading and ESL, and learned---that practicing the dictation exercise would help a person improve his/her ability to recall. One is never too old to learn. Thanks!

Im not native english speaker. but this guy giving the lecture so well, that make me feel like listening mother language 👍

Am I the only one who just found it now? He's a great teacher; I listened to him from the start till the last minute.

two years ago, I listened to him and understand nothing because he spoke to fast and my English is so terrible. And at the moment, I recognized his voice is so so clear, strong and beautiful. The lessons are really useful and used simple words. Really thank him and this channel. Hope the channel will develope more.

Problems 1_ Pseudo Listening 2_ Selective Listening 3_ Critical Listening Solutions 1_ Awareness 2_ Physically and mentally There 3_ Set a Goal ! 4_ Sit at center and Front. 5_ Practice Dictation (writing after sentences are completely spoken) 6_ Pretend to be Fascinating (interested in What others are saying)

This class should be taught at every school ! I didn’t realized listening is so critical until I went to toastmaster. I’ve missed the whole half of my life ! My son and I just watched this video. It’s so helpful !!

What an interesting lecture! I like the way he can actually hold the class peacefully tight and focused. That’s the precise definition of the very lecture he teaches.

I took this professors class at LBCC 3 years ago before I transferred to CSUDH and I have to say they are one of the best professors ever and taught me how to change the way I approach learning and I still use the skills he taught me to this day.

He makes things in a way easy to understand.That literally makes him a great teacher.

I was searching for english listening test and I found this lecture instead. The begining was preety interesting so I have watched whole one and understood preety much everything. Very good teacher!

As a current student at Barstow Community College, I am taking a Comm1 class, Elements of Public Speaking, and I am learning a lot. This was a great addition and gave me new insights to not only become a better speaker, but it also gave me the tools, I feel everyone needs, to become a better listener as well, not only for course work, but in my personal life as well. Thank you so much. I look forward to learning more and becoming a better communicator as well.

so helpful and kind! i haven’t been to a lecture since march. this was comforting to watch, feels like i was sitting in your class!!

First step is go up and listen attentively stop scrolling for comments NOW!!

This guy was awesome, just the sort of listening-skills lesson I needed. I currently rely on reading textbooks ahead of time in order to listen to my professors. Without doing so, I am completely lost. I'm going to try listening to some RU-vid videos and writing down what was said, thank you much for the tips!

In the effort to improve my listening skill for PTE test, I incidentally found this lecture. It was amazing and fascinating. It was worth 48 minutes of watching every single word he said. According to this video (workshop) I know how to enhance my listening skill now. Thank you, teacher aka speaker. Chris from Vietnam.

He's just amazing ...and it's easy to understand everything he says ... l'm so glad to find out him like an example teacher.

Feeling very grateful to watch this, I wish every teacher should be like him..

I love your sense of humor. I wish there's more teachers like you, you are good at what you do. You have to love teaching to be like you

One of the sensational videos that I need it urgently. Great sense of humour, wonderful voice, excellent body language and most of all very educational and informative presentation. I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for sharing! 😊 🙏🏻

This is a great teacher! He explains things so well! He knows how to break things down!

very interesting useful and important lecture, usually I fall asleep when a watch a long video but during your lecture I paid 100percent attention and understood easily every your word, thank you teacher for a wonderful lesson

I was overwhelmed to receive the professor's professional advice on how to get back to concentration after distracting or going on a mental vacation. Regarding the recommendation, where to sit for those kinds of students who are easily get disconnected by noticing others was one of the most effective recommendations I have ever received. Thanks, sir.

I am a teacher, but learning is endless. I commend him in the way he taught us.

I can't believe this video is almost 9 years old. The professor nailed it|! and I wonder if he has a personal channel here on RU-vid...I'd love to watch more classes of him. ^^

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this Guy.....I love him. Respect to you sir..Bless u

Thank you. First time in my whole life I've ever heard someone for that long continuously with full awareness. I enjoyed every word and expression of the teacher . These tips are going to help me a lot in my college classes . Thank you very much once again.

This video is first of its kind to give practice on listening skills which I were very average at. Visual thinking came to rescue for faster decoding of the words. AWESOME VIDEO SIR. Very Humours as well. Another useful tip was 'PRETEND TO BE FASCINATED' which I can relate to my college days. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. Though I am a professional but still find the channel so useful. The teacher is really awesome!

Thank you for posting! I watched the entire video for the whole 49 minutes and I was interested the whole time. Trust me I am not the kind of person to do that. Very useful good job.

From my experience of learning English as a foreign learner, I highly recommend exposing yourself to the language through movies and any other audio-visual content, this helped me get used to the pattern of that language and gave me a huge advantage among other learners who were learning English in a straight forward and boring method.

I always come back to watch this teacher’s videos for refreshing my skills of listening, reading and notes taking. Thank you very much for these good videos.👍

An explicit lesson where all examples used are tailored around students' life in the classroom, to foster a better understanding of the lesson's content. so so unique.

Love love love it!! Thank you! I even had the feeling like I was sitting in the class at the front row and nodding with excitement. Great knowledge and it’s free, too!

I never had those problems as a student. So it is really enlightening and amusing to listen to this very well-organized and still seemingly spontaneous lecture.

Put there Bro.. It is great to know that there are still real schoolmasters educating their students with concise reasons and solutions for the ill. As I took it upon myself some odd score years back when I first noticed the info on the Cornell Note taking method. Wow that was an eye opening experience. Thanks again there colleage. I am really happy to know that I can refer this material to as many number ofs students with doubts nowadays and do encourage them to watch these. Sometimes some of the even most brightess of students have doubts at times on how to Listen effectively during exams but are happier and feel confident after having watched them. you never stop learning....Great examples and solutions exposed!!! Great educational uplifters!!!!! Thanks LBCC.

This teacher is amazing at what is doing. It must be fun being around him. I love it!

You are amazing... really amazing. If every teacher is like you than we are going to have every student as genius.

This teacher is really awesome,he have lots of knowledge and sense of humor.

this video has become one of my favorites , i love how fast he speaks but at the same time is understandable what he's saying.... everything is so well explained !

He has such a good sense of humor ! It was a pleasure to listen to him

Its a pleasure to listen to that kind of teacher! I would love be a student in his class!

wow, this is an EXTREMELY old video. I like the way the professor talks. He demonstrates a good teacher often has some sorta acting skills. He is so articulate. lucky to watch this video. Bless him~

What an amazing lecture!! This is the best lecture best teaching style a have ever had. In my whole life I was longing for this type of teacher. I wish I could have in his class!! Wish his good health!

This is the first long video in English that I watch all in one time. But I do not "pretend to be fascinated if I have to". I will see it more times to practice my listening skills. Thank you so much!

He explains everything not only by his words but also by his manners that makes him a best teacher . Hope , His topic is clearly understood by everyone only for his way of explains .

This is called perfect teaching.All the information are valuable. I appreciate you a lot . Thank you for sharing

Watching this video is one of the greatest thing that happen in my life today. I really love the way he explained all the lesson.

This is a great teacher. My mother language is spanish and he speaks fast but clear that I can easily follow his class with no problem.

I really like this teacher. He 's speaking is clear and easy to follow.

I'm glad I came across this. It actually cleared up somethings.Thanks a lot and looking forward to more classes. Keep inspiring!

Your style of teaching is super appealing! The lecture is very useful and applicable. Thank professor very much!

This man is so good at teaching. I was just rambling in and in 5 mins I'm totally caught by his speech

As a new student, I am really happy to discover this amazing and dedicated teacher who supports me a lot to improve my academic performance and learning skills. All of my respect for his pedagogical skills!🌹

beautiful videos, I will recommend to all my students.. keep up the good work.

Wow! Excellent lecture. Great examples. I been struggling on listening skills since childhood. I believe effective listening make a big difference in your life. These days employer don't train one properly and its a fast pace learning when get new job. You really have to relie on good listening skills to understand the important aspects of the job. It requires detail analysis. If you have poor listening skills then its really difficult to catch up on your duties. May create a bad impression from the start. As days pass by ;employer's expectations increases... poor listening may cost your job...

Fabulous instructor! Held my attention the whole way through, which is very unusual. I think his exercises are spot on. I need to do more of them, great way to exercise my brain! Thank you so much for this class!

Whatever you do, do your best. This teacher is one of the best one. I have always had problem in understanding English, but this time!

SUMMARY-Concentration problems: Pseudo listening-daydreaming/wandering mind Selective listening-distraction Critical listening-judging something that bothers u instead of moving on Solutions: Awareness-notice when ur mind starts drifting Prepare-eat&sleep 2concentrate well,leave ur problems out the door. Set a goal-aim to listen 100% even if lesson's boring Sit at front & center Practice listening-dictation eg 31:03-38:00 Pretend 2b fascinated if you have to-sit up,lean fw,keep eye contact

very helpful I wish that teacher is is mine. He is so funny, yet too professional.

WOW! You are an awesome professor. Who could be ever teaching like you ?

This is the best teacher speaker ever. 48 minutes I listened to him without blinking!

Thank you so much,Sir. I am your new student here.Your speaking is very clearly for me. I mean your voice is clearly to understand for students who are learning English.

I watched the whole series of lecture by this teacher. I wish somebody taught me all of these many years ago. That could have saved me a lot of time, and made me smarter in learning.

He's good teacher and I've been searching for videos that are advanced level and finally I found this...... I Love it

Great Teacher indeed. I wish I knew you before but it's never late because learning is a life long process.

He discussed and analysed one of the biggest problem of modern humans🙏♥️

Amazing Sir. Thank you very much for such an effective clues to stay focused. Thank you!

I have followed his class since a while and he is great lecturer.

You are one of a great teacher I had watched on youtube a couple of year ago.

Love this teacher. Brilliant!!

It is a very good lesson. Not just about English listening skill. Very useful.

It has been absolutely useful lesson for me! I’m envious of course participants who have had the greatest chance to listen to the teacher! Let me thank you for your remarkable communication!

I've been teaching various things for a while now and as far as I'm aware none of my students ever had a workshop like that. Really interesting - thanks!

Congratulations!! You´re a good teacher and I loved the way you explain all the topics!!

Well done! He is amazing teacher. I wish I could attend his classes.

I heard many other native english speakers but you are the best teacher.

I love your lession so much. I listen it again and again.

“On vacation “ was so funny but very well said and is totally true.

Woah! This is the best teacher I have ever met in my life. God bless you sir

This is some very good and useful information, thank you. Not often you hear practical information being given like this. I have been a teacher for many years. One thing I had to learn early on was not to get offended if it seemed like someone was not listening. This speaker mentions a few times about not listening as showing disrespect. If you are putting information out there, some people will listen and some won't. Don't take it personally if they don't, it just causes you stress, and no one is really obligated to listen. If you make a bug deal about it, it just tends to turn people off. My opinion.

What a great teacher and what a class! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful knowledge.

An exemplary professor. I am 66 and I would love to study under him!

What he says makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing.

I’m learning English now. He is the most favorite teacher for me 😊 I have seen this RU-vid many times. この先生の大ファンです。 授業を受けている生徒さん、幸せだなぁ！

He is the best teacher I have seen! I can totally concentrate on his quite humorous and vivid lesson! I pick you hhhhhh

Awesome wow, really really good teacher. Thumps all the way up. Finally i did understand.

I wish I knew about these self-improvement lectures earlier so I may be a better student today. Please do not cancel.

I love listening to this kind of teacher. He's funny.

I came here to improve my ENGLISH listening skills but this video had helped me to improve my listening skills in general and it is the first time that I paid an attention for a long video ,greetings from Saudi Arabia

Interesting way, I'll try it..Thanks for sharing this.

They are really interesting and useful lectures

What a tremendous lecture! Made me sit up and listen. And I agreed with it completely. Having been a lecturer myself for years, it was fun too. 😁

He is really funny, I have been laughing so much. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, you are such a gifted teacher. Wishing you all the best.

I work interpreter and translator in Thailand, all your tutorials are brillianttly bright brian, I always keep following your class. please record and upload more..!! So so quality!! Mr. Ton from Thailand. :)

A great teacher! It was so interesting and fun, I felt I wouldn't need any of the skills learned to listen to this lecture! It was informative, useful, truly fascinating and most eloquently presented! I greatly enjoyed it and benefited from it! Thanks so much, Rivka Kahana, Israel.

Many congratulations to you!!!! I wish i had more teachers like you when I was a student!!!

I had been searching videos to improve my listening skills due to english is not my native language. I found this and now a im feel as the most fortunate person in the world. Thank you a lot.

I loved this video, what a great teacher. Honestly, we should have these study skills lessons taught to ALL students at the start of the school year. Think about how much this can improve the grades for all the students

This teacher is so right about the PSEUDO listening!! He's such a great teacher, I wish I could be in his workshops.

Thank you so much for this lesson. It helps me a lot to focus on listening. Much appreciate it and I look forward to seeing more interesting lessons.

The teacher is so amazing! The class is so interesting, I can’t help giggling (pseudo listening，mental vacation…) and I really enjoy the whole video.
