I didn’t realize how important it is to allow English
language learners to listen to a diverse group of speakers. If your students
are only always listening to you speak, they become familiar with your tongue,
making other voices they hear unfamiliar. When they hear other speakers of
English, the unfamiliarity can be distracting. If you allow them to listen to
diverse speakers, they wont get too used to one voice. When I started to play
an audio stream I found on the web with Annie, I seen my mistake. I had to keep
replaying the audio clip because she couldn't understand what the person was
saying. I now incorporate audio streams into every lesson.
