learning goals
I know strategies that I can use for watching/listening in English.

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

listening strategies 
  • Practise predicting content
  • pay attention to linking words (=voegwoorden, zoals but, including, also)
  • always start with reading the questions so that you know what to focus on. 
  • Do the questions ask you to look for specific details or is it more a general idea of the video?
  • to get an idea of the central message: the first sentences often give away the content of a video/message, Important facts are often preceded by pauses and are often repeated throughout the fragment.  

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

watching/listening 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 what is a detail?
  • look for synonyms. Sometimes a synonym of a word in the answers is used in the video. 

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

watching/listening strategies
  • vertaal de vraag voor jezelf naar het Engels dus bijvoorbeeld: "Wat vragen archeologen zich af....?" -> dan kan er een woorden komen als "they question" / "they puzzle" 
  •  het woord "hoogte" is belangrijk in de vraag -> wat is de Engels vertaling dan?
