Teaching of listening is probably the most ignored component of ELT in Pakistan. Though it is the first window of mind, which gives birth to the very concept of language acquisition, it has not been studied in pedagogical perspective. There is a relevantly good rationale to discuss the nature of listening; it is a reciprocal process, and an active rather than a passive skill of communication, hence there are necessary techniques to master it by using variety of texts. The paper, therefore, is an attempt to analyze such forms & techniques of teaching listening, which could possibly help our teachers to understand this very important skill and use the same in ESL classrooms.
