However, it's crucial to recognize that there are numerous listening strategies, yet their effectiveness isn't always guaranteed. According to Lynch (2009, p. 87), the optimal approach is to identify which strategies your students may be underutilizing or neglecting entirely, then demonstrate and encourage practice in those strategies.

Platforms like YouTube have gained prominence as effective tools for facilitating this approach. While such platforms can greatly benefit students in improving their listening skills, there is a caveat. Some websites may excessively guide students through the listening process, depriving them of the opportunity to learn independently and fully immerse themselves in the listening experience.

It's not merely about selecting correct answers in exercises; it's about reflecting on the listening process itself and deriving learning from it.
