Listening in real life

What do people listen to?

Reasons for listening

• E.g. , songs

• To have pleasure

LISTENING

• Listening is the ability to identify and understand what others are saying. This involves understanding a speaker's accent or pronunciation, his grammar and his vocabulary, and grasping his meaning. An able listener is capable of doing these four things simultaneously .

WHY TEACH LISTENING?

• Students hear different accents and varieties.
• Listening helps students to acquire language subconsciously.
• Listening is a receptive skill.
• Education.
• Mass communication.

‘ WHAT A DIFFICULT TASK…’

• Teaching listening skills is one of the most difficult tasks for any ESL teacher.
• Sometimes students feel frustrated because they find listening difficult… Why?

DIFFICULTIES

• Students are trying to understand every word.
• Students go back trying to understand what a previous word meant.
• Students just don’t know the most important words.
• Students don’t recognize the words they know.
• Students have problems with different accents.
• Students get tired.
• Students have mental block.
• Students are distracted.
• Students cannot cope without images.
• Students have hearing problems.

listening activities (with focus) to overcome the difficulties

• giving them charts / categories
• asking questions ahead of time
• showing pictures/charts
• discussing the topic first
• describing the context
• role playing the situation
• providing key word list
• brainstorming (situations / pros / cons)
• Predicting
• Doing follow-ups that allows them to connect directly with their lives

TOP TIPS

• PRE- LISTENING:
• Tell your students “ DON’T WORRY”

• Make sure students know what they are listening for before you start listening
• Give questions to check students comprehension
• Check for any words that your students may not know

• Check for any words that your students may not know
• Short listening
• Stop the recording

• WHILE LISTENING:
• Try to play the recording once for overall comprehension and then for specific details.
• Take notes ( dates, places, people)
• Repeat the recording especially in the difficult parts

• POST-LISTENING:
• Compare their notes in small groups.
• Encourage debates and answer questions.
• Write a summary of the main points and then compare.
• Make a list of any new vocabulary.

REMEMBER!!!

• Try to use as many different sources of listening material as you can:

advertisements, news programs, poetry, songs, extracts from plays, speeches, lectures, telephone conversations, informal dialogues.
