Exploring Listening Through Riau Island’s Cuisine

Exploring listening through Riau’s cuisine is an approach that suits to students’ environmental
context. The students are invited to slow down and listen—not just with their ears, but with
their senses. Through the flavors, textures, and aromas of Riau’s local foods, they can learn
about the values of patience, respect, and connection. Thus, learning listening that is relevant
to students’ background knowledge is expected to support their comprehension.
