Integrating Metacognitive StrategiesBefore listening: Plan for the listening task Set a purpose or decide in advance what to listen for Decide if more linguistic or background knowledge is needed Determine whether to enter the text from the top down (attend to the overall meaning) or from the bottom up (focus on the words and phrases) During and after listening: Monitor comprehension Verify predictions and check for inaccurate guesses Decide what is and is not important to understand Listen/view again to check comprehension Ask for help After listening: Evaluate comprehension and strategy use Evaluate comprehension in a particular task or area Evaluate overall progress in listening and in particular types of listening tasks Decide if the strategies used were appropriate for the purpose and for the task Modify strategies if necessary Using Authentic Materials and SituationsAuthentic materials and situations prepare students for the types of listening they will need to do when using the language outside the classroom. One-Way Communication Materials: Radio and television programs Public address announcements (airports, train/bus stations, stores) Speeches and lectures Telephone customer service recordings Procedure: Help students identify the listening goal: to obtain specific information; to decide whether to continue listening; to understand most or all of the message Help students outline predictable sequences in which information may be presented: who-what-when-where (news stories); who-flight number-arriving/departing-gate number (airport announcements); «for [function], press [number]» (telephone recordings) Help students identify key words/phrases to listen for Two-Way Communication In authentic two-way communication, the listener focuses on the speaker's meaning rather than the speaker's language. The focus shifts to language only when meaning is not clear. Note the difference between the teacher as teacher and the teacher as authentic listener in the dialogues in the popup screens.30 Language learning depends on listening. Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. Effective language instructors show students how they can adjust their listening behaviour to deal with a variety of situations, types of input, and listening purposes. They help students develop a set of listening strategies and match appropriate strategies to each listening situation. Download 84.33 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
