What if students don’t understand the audio track?
Sometimes, despite the best judgm ent of the teacher (or the materials designer), listening 
material seems to be too difficult for students to understand. However m any times the 
teacher plays the track, it just doesn’t work. The teacher then abandons the activity and 
everyone loses face.
There are a num ber of alternatives to this scenario which can help.
Preview interview questions
Students can be given the questions of an interview and are encouraged to role-play what 
m ight be said before listening to it. This will have great predictive power.
Use ‘jigsaw listening9
Different groups can be given different audio excerpts (either on tape or CD, or - for some 
of them - as 
audioscripts). 
W hen the groups hear about each other’s extracts, they can get 
the whole picture by putting the ‘jigsaw’ pieces together.
One task only
Students can be given a straightforward task which does not dem and too much detailed

understanding. For example, we can get them to describe the speaker on the recording - the 
sound of the voice will suggest sex, age, status, etc. Such an activity offers the possibility of 
success, however difficult the listening passage.
Play a/the firs t segment only
Instead of playing the whole recording, teachers can just play the first segment and then let 
students predict what’s coming next. O ur third example in Chapter 10 (see pages 139-142) 
was a version of this.
Play the listening in chunks
Break the audio track into manageable chunks so that students understand the content of a 
part of it before moving on to the next one. This can make listening less stressful, and help 
students to predict what the next chunk will contain.
Use the audioscript
There are three ways of using the audioscript to help students who are having difficulty. In 
the first place, we can cut the script into bits. The students put the bits in the right order as 
they listen. Secondly, we can let the students see the first part o f the audioscript before they 
listen. They will then know what the listening text is going to be about. Finally, the students 
can read the audioscript before, during and after they listen. The audioscript can also have 
words or phrases blanked out.
Use vocabulary prediction
We can give students ‘key’ vocabulary before they listen. They can be asked to predict what 
the recording will be about and, because they now know some of the words, they will 
probably understand more.
Have students listen a ll the time
Encourage students to carry listening extracts in their car or on their MP3 players. Get 
them to listen to the news in English on the radio or Internet as often as possible and to 
try to understand just the main points. Remind them that the more you listen, the easier 
it gets.
