In the teaching listening to the children, the teacher needs to consider the teaching method because it is one of the most important things. The teaching
method can help the teacher in delivering the materials effectively. Harmer 2001 states some teaching method as described below:
a
Audio-lingualism: drilling is used in the audio-lingual method. It is used
to engender good habits in language learners. The students were constantly learning and protected from the possibility of making mistakes by the
design of the drill. b
PPP: PPP stands for Presentation, Practice, and Production. In this
procedure the teacher introduces a situation which contextualises the language to be taught. The teacher and students work together in the
practice step. Then, students will work individually in the production step.
