1. A novice teacher can respond to a non interactive classroom with mix ability students by
doing the following strategies;

 Call on students by name, don’t just point.

 Leave plenty of wait-time, this is, give them enough time to think because most students
interact when they have got a lot of time to think.
 Use the teacher - individual student relationship, that is, learn all the students’ name, and
learn something about individual backgrounds, tests e.t.c of many students as you can.
 Use higher - ordering thinking.

2a). Non linguistic factors are believed to impact on listening skills in ELT class because they
destroy empathy and understanding with students and they will not permit you to determine
whether they understand what they are being taught.

2b). Non linguistic factors include habits, environments, language attitudes, motivations,
teachers, age and learning evaluations.

 Teaching Environment:

The teaching environment must be as suitable as possible for learning, in general, and ELT
teaching, in particular. Chaugule (2009), states that it is basically essential to establish an
appropriate physical and psychological atmosphere in classrooms. There must be also special
conditions and further facilities for developing teaching and encouraging students to learn an EL
because teaching does not only involve methods and techniques but also materials development,
sufficient time, class organisation and possibly training. So, classroom organisation should
encourage interaction, allowing pairing and grouping of students. Consequently, large classes are
not suitable for teaching listening and teachers’ strategies for teaching listening are not effective
in such an environment.

Furthermore the class also includes some problems that hinder teaching of take listening skill
such as density, disarrangement, time inadequacy and noise.
