Positive correlation Between Listening Comprehension Motivation and Listening Comprehension.
Not only in listening competency but also in overall life, students become more enthusiastic, have positive attitudes, and try harder continuously.
MotivationMotivation
With higher motivation, students (1) spend more time, (2) created
more opportunities, and (3) paid more attention to developing and enhancing their English listening comprehension.
Without motivation, student’s self-confidence is debilitated,
resulting in anxiety, and a lower motivation for practicing English listening.
MotivationMotivation
Why is motivation important? ▶ This is about students’ attitudes to
studying and conducting activities. High degree of motivation makes all tasks and activities more effectively.
Intrinsic motivation is more important than extrinsic motivation. So, teachers should pay attention to help students connect from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic motivation.

““The Office” The Office” - U.S. and U.K. versionU.S. and U.K. version
A good exercise would be to show an episode of “The Office” to your students (if they are Adults)
The Office is a popular show in both the U.S. and U.K. and the students can practice listening to dialogue in British English as well as in American English so that they can hear the difference in how the language is spoken.
Then afterwards go through the different and similar words that the students heard and see what needs clarification.
