What are Post-listening Activities?
During-listening activities are tasks that students complete while listening to a story or passage. These activities help students stay focused, process information in real-time, and improve their comprehension. They encourage active engagement and help students practice important listening skills.
Why use Post-listening Activities?
During-listening activities offer several benefits for developing listening skills. In the language classroom, they can help:
- Maintain Engagement: Keeps students engaged and attentive throughout the listening task.
- Check for Understanding: Allows teachers to monitor students' comprehension and provide immediate feedback.
- Encourage Active Listening: Helps students focus on key details and main ideas.
- Promote Critical Thinking: Encourages students to make inferences, predictions, and connections as they listen.
- Support Diverse Learning Styles: Incorporates various activities that cater to different learning preferences.
Examples of Post-listening Activities
The following activities can be adapted to suit different proficiency levels and classroom contexts. Remember to start with simple tasks and gradually increase complexity as students become more comfortable.
S.No. | Name of the Activity | Activity Description | Sample |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Total Physical Response (TPR) Activities | The teacher gives commands in the language being taught, and students respond with actions. | Example: "Salma says touch your nose," "Salma says point to the door," "Clap your hands" (students shouldn't respond to this one). |
2 | Brainstorming | Introduce the topic/ theme and ask students what they know about it. Relate the story's theme to students' own experiences. | Example: Before listening to a story about animals, ask students to name as many animals as they can. |
3 | Vocabulary Introduction | Explain what students should listen for during the story. | Example: Introduce words like "forest," "lost," and "rescue" before listening to a story about an adventure in the jungle. |
4 | Setting a Purpose | Give a series of directions for students to follow. | Example: Tell students to listen for the main characters and the problem they face in the story. |
5 | Picture Walk | Show pictures related to the story and discuss them with students. | Example: Before listening to a story set in a city, show images of busy streets, buildings, and parks. |
