- bottom-up process
what are the 3 stages of teaching listening
- before-listening stage
- while-listening stage
- after-listening stage
prepare your stuents through activities that require activating the prior knowledge, making predictions, and revising key vocabulary
before-listening stage
allow your learners to comprehend the oral texts through selective listening, gist listening, or sequencing
while-listening stage
learners should be able to express their learning about the topic
while-listening stage
what are some exercises you can use during pre-listening stage
- introduce vocab from the text
- write guide questions that they can answer while and after reading the text
- predict the oral text based on the title
- ask questions
what are some exercises you can use during while-listening stage
- let them list down important words
- let them show understanding/non-understanding through gestures
- let students guess the meaning of the words
what are some exercises you can use during after-listening stage
- ask students to think and talk about what they heard
- let them write their own opinions

what is the format of the pre-listening part of a listening lesson
IAPS
- Identifying vocabulary/comprehensive words

- Grabbing their attention through quotes within their interests is a good way of breaking the ice.
- It establishes good rapport between you and your students and fosters a good sense of familiarity.

LGT
- listening and re-listening
- guided listening and scaffold note-taking

this is a part of the while-listening stage in the format of a listening lesson where:
You need to assess how much your students can take and if listening once is enough for them.
listening and re-listening
this is a part of the while-listening stage in the format of a listening lesson where:
If you need your students to complete something while listening, you have to make sure that they have previewed and understood the written task first before listening begins.
guided listening and scaffold note-taking
this is a part of the while-listening stage in the format of a listening lesson where:
- Give students time to process the information by pausing in between paragraphs, and checking now and then if they are still following.
- Be keen and address difficulties while in the process
- Summarize, use questions, and point out significant details so that students will be able to recognize important parts of the message
