This article explores the theoretical principles of using visualization techniques to enhance listening comprehension skills in primary school students. The paper discusses how visualization can be integrated into the learning process, drawing on key cognitive theories such as Dual Coding Theory, Constructivist Learning Theory, and Cognitive Load Theory. It highlights the role of visualization in facilitating active engagement, reducing cognitive overload, and promoting long-term retention of auditory information. Practical methods for applying visualization, including mind mapping, storyboarding, and drawing scenes, are also explored. The article emphasizes the importance of visualization techniques in developing effective listening skills, which are essential for academic success in primary education.
