Hearing vs. Listening Posters for ESL and EFL Classrooms

This set of posters helps students understand the difference between hearing and listening in a clear and visual way. The concept is especially useful for English language learners who often hear the words but don’t always grasp the meaning behind them.

Each poster includes a short, everyday example that asks students to decide whether someone is just hearing or truly listening. This encourages students to think, discuss, and use English to explain their reasoning.
