Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study is aimed at investigating the difficulties that English teachers encountered while teaching listening comprehension and their attitudes towards the subjectin Karak schools.To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used two instruments: a teacher’s questionnaire and informal interviews. In order to answer the questions of the study:1) What are the difficulties that teachers encounter while teaching listening comprehension?2) What are the teachers’ attitudes towards English listening comprehension?A questionnaire was designed to explore the difficulties that teachers encountered in teaching listening comprehension. Another convenience sample was used with informal interviews. It consisted of seven teachers of English and they answered three questions.The results revealed regarding the questionnaire covered three domains. Ratios ranged between low for problems related to teacher’s proficiency with a mean up to2.81, and medium for problems related to teaching environment with mean up to 3.32 and availability of sources and teaching aids with a mean up to 3.04.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
