The teacher doesn’t give the students any statements, only sets the scene and gets students to predict some of the things they will hear in the text. Students write down their predictions. In this way students have made their own listening guides. The teacher reads the listening text and students tick their correct predictions. | TEACHING LISTENING (Adopted from English Language Teaching Methodology- BA upgrading course-The Ministry of Education & Training -2003) 1.

Listen & draw The teacher gives students a map, a house plan or diagram or pictures-any visual that students can draw on- draw a route, mark changes, or label parts. The visual can be copied off the board or given as picture prediction. The students listen to the text and respond by drawing, filling in, labeling, numbering, etc . 3. Recall the story Students re-tell the story in the listening text in their own words. The teacher can help them by doing a mini drill first, usually the same pictures or simplified statements that were used for ‘predicting’ in the pre-listening task or ‘ordering’ or ‘selecting’ in the while listening task. Students practice speaking in pairs or groups. The re-telling with a picture can also be done as a chain story. 4. Further practice The teacher chooses a topic related to the listening topic, usually a topic personalized to the students, and design a production activity for the students to do. For example, after doing the ‘grids’, they will describe other classmates; or students can recount similar stories to the listening text-things that have happened to them personally. 5. Pre-questions The teacher puts a few pre-questions on the board: one pre-question for main point in the listening text. Students read and think about the pre-questions.
