Repetition • Play the recording a total of 2-3 times • 1st time : to get a clear idea off the entire topic. • Read task questions carefully • Listen for 2nd time and answer the questions. • Play again if necessary. By P.Meganathan for Gr8tteam Project
Content • Material should be interesting and appropriate • e.g. proficiency level, vocabulary and topic • Avoid using advanced materials in beginner class By P.Meganathan for Gr8tteam Project
Noise • Ensure to reduce distractions and noise during the listening activity • .e.g. close doors or windows to avoid noises from outside. • Do not stop/ pause the recording at any stage (unless asked so) - might distract the student’s concentration. • Ensure the recording is loud enough for all students to listen.
