Abstract

This article shows the results of a study that aimed at verifying how much B2 proiciency level students, according to the Common European Framework of Reference, understand their teachers’ speech. It also aimed at identifying teachers’ and students’ perceptions on how speech should be delivered so that learners at this level can signiicantly improve their listening skill. he goal of this study was to compare the two groups’ perceptions and contrast them to the degree of student comprehension as well as to the pedagogic function of the teacher’s
speech. he resulting data were analyzed based on Vygotsky’s sociointeractionism, Benveniste’s theory and Ausubel’s meaningful learning concept.
