    1. Teaching Listening Skills Seminar by Jeremy D. Slagoski, Senior English Language Fellow

    2. Standard Format Pre-listening Listening Post-listening

    3. #1 Pre-listening Do NOT pre-teach ALL important new vocabulary in the passage Instead set the context and create motivation Do this by activating students prior knowledge through a cooperative learning activity

    4. #2 Listening Extensive listening - students listen for the main idea then answer the general questions to establish the context Intensive listening - students listen again to answer detailed comprehension questions This is too simple and perhaps dull

    5. #2 Listening Starting with extensive listening is a good technique, but add focus to the attitude of the speaker Instead of detailed comprehension questions for intensive listening, involve students in a listening task Upon completion of the listening task have students check each others answers

    6. Listening Tasks Listing Ordering and sorting Comparing Problem solving Sharing personal experiences Creative tasks

    7. #3 Post-listening Do NOT analyze the linguistic elements through discussing grammar and repetition exercises. Instead examine the functional language and infer the meaning of vocabulary. Allow students to negotiate the meaning rather than telling them the correct interpretation.

    8. Easy to plan pre-listening activities Brainstorming Think-Pair-Share Word Webbing/Mind Mapping Team Interview Round Robin

    9. Easy to plan listening tasks Agree or disagree (with explanation) Create Venn diagrams List characteristics, qualities, or features Strip story (sequencing game) Match speech to visuals Compare and contrast to another speech or text Give advice

    10. More listening tasks Compare and contrast to your own experience Create your own version of the missing section Plan a solution to the problem Share reactions Create a visual Reenact your own version

    11. Easy to plan post-listening examinations Guess the meaning of unknown vocabulary Analyze the speakers intentions List the number of people involved and their function in the script Analyze the success of communication in the script Brainstorm alternative ways of expression

    12. Summarize the Negative Dont pre-teach all important new vocabulary in the listening. Dont give students irrelevant detailed comprehension questions. Dont spend too much time on grammar analysis. Dont listen-and-repeat everything.

    13. Summarize the Positive Set the context through interactions. Create motivation. Make the listening tasks authentic and central to the listening lesson. Involve students in the listening through negotiation of meaning. Examine functional language. Help students learn vocabulary autonomously.
