4 Summary

In this unit you have learned about how you can devise activities that use resources creatively in order to support your students in developing their listening skills. See Resource 2 for some of the language you might need for carrying out these activities. In all these activities it is important to think about how the activity can be made accessible and meaningful to students. These listening activities should link to other activities in the textbook or to events and experiences in your students’ lives. In all the activities you will need to carefully listen to and observe how your students respond so that you can intervene to direct and facilitate learning for all students in your class.

If you would like to improve your own listening skills, you can find links and tips in Resource 4 and in the unit Developing your English. Find links for further reading in the additional resources section.

You can learn more about creating opportunities for students to listen to English in the unit Using more English in your classroom.
