Teacher Tips for Planning Effective TEFL Listening Activities
Remembering what you have already read, here are some tips for planning an effective 
listening.activity.
1..focus.listening.around.a.task:.this.helps.to.make.sure.students.have.a.purpose.to.listen..it.
could be a TPR response, ticking a box, following directions, but be careful not to make it too 
writing.intensive.
2..On-going.learner.response:.as.we.learned.earlier.all.listening.requires.a.response..On-going.
responses in the classroom work much better than a few questions at the end, which could make it 
a.memory.test.and.not.a.comprehension.exercise.
3..Motivation.and.success:.One.of.the.biggest.factors.in.motivation.is.success..Make.sure.the.
task.is.challenging.but.not.too.difficult..Once.a.student.succeeds.they.will.be.motivated.to.go.
again..Provide.opportunities.for.students.to.complete.written.answers,.or.listen.a.second.or.third.
time.if.it.will.help.successful.completion.
4.. simplicity:. Be. wary. when. using. additional. environmental. or. visual. clue. that. you. don’t.
stimulate.too.many.senses.at.once.
5..feedback:.Give.it.immediately.or.as.soon.as.possible..students.will.quickly.forget.what.they.
heard.if.you.give.feedback.a.day.later.
6..Visual.materials:.invaluable.in.setting.the.context.and.will.likely.provide.heightened.motivation.
and.interest..You.can.also.throw.in.some.acting.or.miming.instead.of.the.usual.audio.recording..
first,. consider. your. students’. needs..are. they. business. people. who. want. to. do. business. in.
English?.any.of.the.short.business.news.videos.available.on.YouTube.or.cNN.com.will.do.nicely..
But.what.if.your.students.are.teens?.You.may.wish.to.show.them.an.interview.of.their.favorite.pop.
star..What.about.the.length.of.the.video?.The.more.advanced.your.learners.are,.the.longer.the.video.
should be, although for practical purposes, a video shown in class for targeted listening practice 
should.be.no.longer.than.15.minutes.
