Learning activities are designed to achieve the following objectives: (a) explain briefly a theory of the speech process; (b) define redundancy, semantic encoding, phonic patterning, and phonological decoding; (c) enumerate and explain the stages of development of listening comprehension; and (d) design a teaching activity for improving listening comprehension skills of Puerto Rican Spanish-speakers. A theoretical overview of listening comprehension that describes the process of speech is presented. Learning activities are outlined, and provisions for pre- and post-assessment of mastery of terminal objectives are included. (PD)
