  1. TYL Week 3: Listening and Speaking

  2. Agenda Activities—Very Young Learners (7 and under) • Listen and Do • Songs and TPR • Disappearing Dialogue • I Have, Who Has? Activities—Older Young Learners (8 and older) • Interviews and Surveys • Mingle • Information Gap (Find the Differences) • Back to Back

  3. Very Young Learners

  4. How are beginner English speakers like empty refrigerators?

  5. If you have an empty fridge, can you make a recipe? • Fridge=English knowledge (“schema”) • Recipe/dish=Sentences/thoughts in English • If you don’t have any English stored, how can you make sentences and express thoughts?

  6. But Remember . . . • Even if students have just a little “food” in the fridge, they should still make simple “recipes” with them! • From the beginning, students should be speaking and attempting to express their own thoughts in English!

  7. Types of Listening Processing

  8. 2 Ways of Processing: • Top-Down: Listen for the big picture or overall message (ex: listening to a friend’s story) • Bottom-Up: Listen for discrete details (ex: listening to a recipe)

  9. Top-down or Bottom-up? • Listening to directions to get somewhere • Listening to a movie review on the radio • Listening to a university lecture

  10. Top-Down vs. Bottom Up • Do activities to develop both! • Top-Down: Stories, books, movies, tv, taking notes on main idea • Bottom-Up: Listen and Do exercises; TPR; Information Gap exercises, taking notes on details

  11. Activities!
