How to use theISE I Fashion Independent Listening Activity
There are several ways you can use this resource. You could just use it as a listening exercise to help improve students listening skills. Ask students to listen once and then tell you the gist of the listening text. Then, they listen again and write down notes about what they hear. Afterwards, ask them to report back six facts about the text. Make a note of their answers and follow up with four questions about facts they haven’t reported.
Alternatively, you could get students to work in pairs and make notes while they listen. When they have listened twice, they work together to try and rebuild the text, as close to the original as possible. This is called a dictagloss activity and it helps students with their sentence formation and with reinforcing the language of the grade.
Finally, you could use the listening text to have a competition. Students work in small groups, they listen and take notes, and then they have to write as many facts as they can on a piece of paper. Give one point for a correct fact and take a point away if the fact is incorrect. The team with the most points is the winner :)
