1. Preparation for listening
Try to train the students to prepare themselves for listening activities. The students need to learn what they can do to prepare themselves for any listening activity. They should think about these questions: Do I know what I am going to hear? Do I know anything about the people talking or what they are talking
about? If they think about these things, they can then make some predictions about the content of the recorded text. Even guessing some of the words they will hear will help them understand the text. Therefore, at the preparation stage, you can sometimes ask a class what words they expect to hear.
2. Check understanding of the task
Make sure that all the students understand the task. When the task is listening for specific information, you may need to check recognition of words, ask questions to check understanding or go through an example. The amount of preparation will vary from class to class and from task to task. Remember,
however, that this is preparation only. The students must still have a reason for listening and the task must not be done at this stage.


3. Play the audio/students do the task
As a general rule, play the audio as many times as necessary for three majority of the class to be able to do the task. At the same time, do not give the impression to the students that you will always do this, or you will reduce their concentration and the effectiveness of their listening. It should not be necessary
to use the pause button at this stage, as it is important for the students to get used to hearing a complete text.
