Listeners’ expectations summary

Students has the opportunity to learn a lot of things just by being around the
context or hearing different people. In the classroom the teacher has to adapt the
context to the topic, it is essential that the student have context of each activity, so
he will never be lost at the class.
Teacher will have to consider elements such as topic, setting, speakers, cultural
framework which means what is being said and what is being meant, also he has to
consider the three main stages: Pre -listening, while listening and post listening.
The pre-listening stage is where students know which the context will be, what kind
of vocabulary will learn or review and what they should expect of every type of task
either a general and particular task. In this stage, the teacher must consider the
available time and material, the ability of the students to develop listening activities
and be aware of the students’ interest and his own interest.
The while listening stage are the activities that the learners will execute while they
are listening the text or audio, the purpose of this stage is helping to improve
learners’ ability to catch messages from the spoken language.
The post- listening stage are the activities related to a specific part of the text which
can be spoken by the teacher, the activities for this stage are done after the listening
is finished.
The activity that I rather for the pre-listening is predicting or speculating the context
because students are more analytical in the situation, also they will be more
interested in the topic because they are expressing their own thoughts in order to
make them feel confident expressing their selves.
For the second stage, for me the most appropriate activity is text completion,
because teacher can make students to focus on the important words or parts of the
lesson.
Finally, for the post-listening activity I rather using the information of the listening
text, so students can resolve problems and make decisions in order to gave them
the freedom of give their own opinion and open their minds with their partners.
