How do you practice listening?
How do you practice listening with your teachers and do they give you any advice?
If you're a teacher then how do you practice with your students and what type of advice do you give them?
The way I practice with my students is that we have a casual conversation. They speak approximately 80% of the time so they can practice speaking and I speak around 20% of the time so they can practice listening. We ask each other questions as we would in a casual, everyday, conversation.
I also advise them to watch movies, tv shows and/or podcasts so they can practice listening by themselves.

there is a bit challenge, time consuming way, which really works.
if you have some listening materials, likes IELTS or any audio books,
listening it and, at same time, write down the sentences your listen,
as more accurate and longer sentences you can write, your listening skills will be improved.

my Japanese tutor usually sends me some examples of conversations or audio materials for our manual. Also we talk usually, too. And we watch videos in the YouTube in Japanese. And she told me to download italki, because she isn't a native speaker and when I talk with her I usually use Russian (cause I'm Russian) to explain something. So it will be better to have a talk with some natives. Maybe you have some friends that can have a chat with your students in the lesson?
p. s. oh, I have a new idea. how about practising with Google Translate? DD I mean, your students'll need to talk correctly if they do it with a bot :))

I am prepring for IELTS and need to get band 8, so I have tried to change my techniques from passive to active, and according to studies that I have done, SHADOWING is appropriate strategy for improving listening skill for whom are not in English speaking region. As a teacher do you have any purposes?
