Abstract:           The traditional methods of comprehension
                    exercises usually involve a passage and a set
                    questions.  Too often children can answer such
                    questions with little or no understanding of
                    either the passage or the questions. On the other
                    hand, information transfer exercises involve
                    transferring information from one to another.

                    exercises. ii)To develop the pupil's listening
                    skills and to enable them to transfer the
                    information they hear into picture form.  
Methodology:        Given in the form of seminars with lots of
                    activities.  
Background:         (refer to project description above).  
Expected Outcomes:  To enable the teachers to use the method
                    effectively in order to develop the pupils'
                    listening skills.
