Pre-listening
- Identifying vocabulary and comprehension needs helps prepare students for the listening task.
- Activating interest engages students before they begin listening by relating the topic to their prior knowledge.
- Putting things into context helps students understand the context of the listening material.
- Setting the purpose makes it clear to students what they are listening for, whether it's information, gist, or intensive listening.
While listening
- Providing opportunities for students to re-listen allows them to catch information they may have missed the first time.
- Guided listening and scaffolded note-taking help students focus on specific details and deepen their understanding.
- Giving students "thinking space" allows them to process the information they have heard and ask questions.
Post-listening
