Without motivation, student’s self-confidence is debilitated,

resulting in anxiety, and a lower motivation for practicing English listening.

studying and conducting activities. High degree of motivation makes all tasks and activities more effectively.

A good exercise would be to show an episode of “The Office” to your students (if they are Adults)

The Office is a popular show in both the U.S. and U.K. and the students can practice listening to dialogue in British English as well as in American English so that they can hear the difference in how the language is spoken.
