Some examples of free activities are given below that are given to students in the class for practice of global listening.

In the end, the students are asked to narrate or give an overall gist of whatever they Have listened to in the recording. They might listen to it again if required.

Production and Evaluation:
Towards the end of the whole lesson, the teacher needs to evaluate the students about whatever he/she has taught to the students. For example, we might ask them what we have taught during the lecture. This can be done by asking them a few questions and listening to the answers that they give attentively.
The teacher might encounter a few problems that are still faced by the students while listening to their feedback. These problems can be corrected by the teacher at that time, or they might be left for the next lectures if they are not relevant to the topic of that day.
Some activities at this stage are also advisable. For example, in order to evaluate our students for global listening, we will ask them a few general questions regarding our topic.
