INTRODUCTION
Listening is an extremely important skill if students want to speak fluently in English. No matter how well you speak, if you don’t understand what your conversation partner said, your answer will be a little awkward at best, or totally random at worst.
In order to help our students, we need to include some practice with it in our English classes. Here’s some basic advice on how to teach listening to ESL students, including a lesson plan template and some ESL listening activities.
Here are the steps that you can follow when planning a listening lesson plan.
Set the Context
This introduces the theme of your listening topic. For example, if your listening is about shopping, you could ask students whether or not they ever buy things without trying them on and whether or not they’ve had good or bad experiences with that.
Pre-Listening Task
Next, you’ll need to assign students a pre-reading task. Some of my favourites ones are prediction tasks which lead to the next step. For example, in class last week the topic was problems while travelling. I had students think of 5 common travel problems with a partner.
Listening
The students listen for the overall picture the first time. You can have them see if their prediction were true if you did this in step #2. Or, you could give them some very simple T/F questions. Basically, anything that gives them a reason to listen.
Pronunciation (optional)
If there are some words that are difficult to pronounce, or your students particularly struggle with this, then you may want to focus a little bit on pronunciation.
Do some drills and practice using the words from the listening passage. Here’s some help with teaching pronunciation: English Pronunciation Games. Or, you may also want to check this out: ESL Contractions.
The object of the research: teaching listening.
