Hello
I'm new to this forum. Looks interesting!
I'm a teacher of English and what I find is that my students can read much better in English than they can listen.
The problem most students have is that they don't recognise the words they are hearing, whereas the same words on a page would be easier to understand.
So they don't even decipher the information they are supposed to be answering a question on! John Field in the UK has done a lot of research into this problem.

Does anyone have a solution for students' inability to decipher spoken words?
