Teaching Listening


Sometimes listening is a neglected skill. However, it is usually attractive for the learners if you choose an appropriate recording and prepare tasks with clear instructions and some visual support. Don't forget to consider the following when planning a listening lesson:
-The topic must be appealing
-The length should be related to the level of proficiency of the learners
-The recording must be of GOOD quality
-The activities must be short and varied

Your task this week is to plan two listening comprehension lessons!
Lesson 1:
Level: primary school (different from the ones you have chosen before)
Steps:
1. Read the corresponding listening comprehension session of the mineduc programme.
2. Choose a topic and two or three objectives.
3. Select a topic.
4. Look for an useful listening situation and script.
5. Plan your listening lesson using the "Lesson Plan Template" including pre-while-post activities.
6. Design the corresponding workheets or aids.
7. Blog the lesson plan, recording, script and materials.
Lesson 2:
Level: high school (different from the ones you have chosen before)
Repeat steps 1-7

Take a look at this video only as one of many possible examples
