learning goals

I know how to tackle selectief luisteren in the listening/watching exam. 

I know how to practice in Woots with listening/watching. 

How do you prepare for the listening/watching exam?

What can you expect?

Periode 1: mondeling (boek) + examenvaardigheden

Periode 2: kijk- en luistervaardigheid + literatuur + leesvaardigheid

Periode 3: leesvaardigheid

Periode 4: examen leesvaardigheid

listening/watching strategies

• underline the important words in the answers that indicate what the answer is really about. 
• If you doubt between two answers: ask yourself which answer was mostly present in the fragment? What is it really about and which aspects were less relevant. 
• look for synonyms. Sometimes a synonym of a word in the answers is used in the fragment  

How to practice? 

• Practice listening at B2/C1 level in Holmwoods
• Practice listening/watching in Woots. You can also practice at skilllevel 1-3. 
• Watch a lot of Netflix series like: The Crown (without subtitles or with English subtitles), Planet Earth. 

How to practice? 

• Watch BBC News, Al Jazeera, CNN 
• Listen to BBC radio/ a podcast on Spotify ( The Daily - The New York Times) / luisterboeken (Audible, Storytel, Nextory) -> Sherlock Holmes series, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts series, Jane Austen books  or anything else you find interesting

Soorten luisteren/kijken 

- globaal kijken: je krijgt een fragment te zien en moet aantekeningen maken. Je mag de vragen nog niet zien. Pas na het aantekeningen maken mag je de vragen beantwoorden. 

- selectief luisteren: je krijgt een fragment van 2/3 minuten en moet dan meerdere vragen hierbij beantwoorden die meer op kleine details gericht zijn.  De fragmenten worden 2 keer afgespeeld. 

- intensief luisteren: Je lees de vraagt, krijgt een fragment te horen of te zien en beantwoord vervolgens de vragen. 

Listening questions

1. How are the characters related in this short film?
