listening skills

Was the listening activity yesterday:

difficult?

interesting?

what made it interesting?

or not ... :(

(then you still have to explain)

what made it difficult?

dealing with questions

what were  good strategies to get answers right?

what makes the activity difficult?

 watch/listen to this

does the presenter mention the same/different ideas that may be useful for listening?

now let's practise a test ourselves

cito havo audio 2007

also: question by question

• I stop immediately after a question
• I ask random people where in the text they found their answer (not with the beep exercise, that would be too easy!)
• reason: you may start to see how it works

how to tackle this?

main strategy:

go from question to text to answer

making practice easier:

• read all questions first + ask about difficult words
• read the script while listening
• why are these useful?

let's get started!
