LISTEN FOR iT!
One of the most essential
listening your students should
develop involves listening for key
information, which often includes
numbers, facts, hours, dates or
other essential info.
To help them train for this
skill, first give them some
context: You will listen to a
man asking for information at
the train station.
Then, before they listen, give
them something they will have
to find out: What time does the
train to Boston leave? Now
here comes the "game" aspect
of it.
Divide the class into teams and
have a team member raise their
hand/ring a bell as soon as they
hear the answer. Then, you do
the same with another short
audio track. You ask a question
and play the audio; the team
that answers first gets a point.
And the team with the most
points at the end wins.
Have each student participate
individually, but make sure
everyoneparticipates, not the
same students over and over
again.
