What I can do to develop a meaningful teaching of the listening skill in my class.
I think I can ask my students to find important information in a conversation, paying attention to the context and the objective of that dialogue. For example, if my students are learning how to book a hotel room, first, I can teach them some important vocabulary and expressions, then, I would ask them to get the most important information in a conversation ( how many days the guests are staying, the kind of room, the price per night, etc..)

What I can do to develop a meaningful teaching of the listening skill in my class.
I think I can improve my classes giving some extra material to work at home. For example: I think I can make a PDF file with a lot of links with different videos, songs and audio tracks to practice their listening. I also consider recommending my students some movies just to enjoy the language.
I believe this material should be focused on acquiring the knowledge and the skills with everything related to the previous lessons, in order to promote a better comprehension of the use of language in a real context.

It is how knowledge is represented and about how that representation facilitates the use of the knowledge in particular way, and what we understand of something is a function of our past experiences and our background
There are 2 processes:
top-down processing
How we process that information
using our past experiences, knowledge and background
bottom-up processing
When one receives information
There are three distinct stages in the aural reception of an utterance.
the sounds go into a sensory store, often called the “echoic” memory
It is the processing of the information by the short-term memory.
the listener is able to construct a meaning from the utterance
