Because my tutee wants to improve his listening skills, I printed out an essay from This I Believe to do a comprehension task. The essay was written by John Cromwell, an actor, producer, director, and winner of a Tony Award in the 1950s. My tutee, Mr. J, said when he listens to English language television shows or movies, he often listens to individual words and rarely gets the gist of what's being said. He misses the main idea, he tells me. Well this is becoming a thing of the past because he not only answered my questions successfully, but also answered speculatively on an aspect of the essay where there was no clear answer.
