Teachers’ Views on the Listening Components of SPINE 6

Abstract

Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the listening components of Spine 6

and how they negatively impact the students’ listening comprehension.

To fully evaluate the problem, a questionnaire was administered to EFL

teachers working at different secondary schools in Khartoum State: Al-

Qabas Secondary School, AL-Salam Secondary, School, Burri Secondary

Schools for boys, Burri Model Secondary School for Girls and Khartoum

International Preparatory School. The questions of the questionnaire,

which are 25, have concentrated on the quantity and quality of SPINE 6

listening components and other factors that may impede the listening

comprehension such as the teachers, the time and teaching kits. The

Findings of the study have proved that the listening components of SPINE

6 are quantitatively and qualitatively insufficient, and the time allotted to

teaching SPINE is also not enough. Also, the findings have suggested the

unavailability of teaching kits at schools, and the national qualified

teachers who can properly teach listening well. In addition, the findings

have indicated that literature can compensate for the shortage of listening

materials in SPINE 6
