Three aspects listening/watching

• specific information 
• important details 

• Try to discover which one applies to the questions when you are making a listening/watching test. What do they want from me?

Kijk/luisteren VWO Engels

• globaal luisteren of kijken: hier mag je de vragen nog niet lezen. Je kijkt/luistert naar het fragment, maakt aantekeningen en dan beantwoord je de vragen. 
• selectief luisteren : hier mag je de vragen al wel lezen, dan luister je naar het fragment en vervolgens beantwoord je de vragen

theconversation.com

Let's discuss

Question 1: What does the author explain in the paragraph about monolingualism as an ideology?

Question 2: "it’s generally accepted that a translation seldom reproduces the exact sense of the original text; nuances don’t travel well." - Do you agree? Why/why not?

Question 3: Like joie de vivre, is there any word from your mother tongue that cannot be translated into another language?

Which strategies do you use when making a listening/watching test for English?
