This article presents alternative approaches to enhancing listening and reading
skills in technical college students. Listening and reading are critical receptive skills
necessary for understanding academic content, technical manuals, and professional
communication. The article explores factors affecting students’ performance, such as
cognitive load, limited authentic input, and motivational challenges. Practical teaching
strategies discussed include task-based learning, multimedia integration, collaborative
learning, and reflective exercises. The findings indicate that diverse, learner-centered
strategies promote comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and critical thinking,
preparing students for both academic and professional success
