During the interviews, the study skills teachers talked about what listening skills they anticipated to develop in their students. According to the teachers interviewed, students were expected to comprehend basic written/ read and spoken/ heard information while taking the course. “I think the learners should be able to get things at the same time as they are listening” (Judy, 3/08/2005). Similarly, Morgan expected his students to bring comprehension skills to the course. “They should be able to comprehend – that is very important because without that ability to comprehend we will not be able to listen well – and secondly, they have to be attentive” (Morgan, 6/08/2005).
