Pre-listening:
I introduce a children’s story, L. Frank Baum (1900). The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Then, I explain the meanings of some words which students might not know. Knowing words’ meaning before listening to the story helps students to understand what the speaker is saying. I need to explain about ‘bottom-up parsing’ and ‘top-down parsing’ because “effective L2 learners used both top-sown strategies listening for intonation or phrases and bottom-up strategies listening for words, while ineffective listeners concentrated on the bottom-up process.” After the explanation of these two strategies, students read questions before starting to listening activity. It is difficult for L2 learners to listen to the story and read questions at the same time, and it will make the listening less meaningful. The format will be true or false questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and multiple choice questions. …show more content…
Students know what they should write down because they read questions already. After first listening, students are allowed to discuss about the answers of the questions with others, however, they are not allowed to use a dictionary. Students listen to the story again after discussion. They need to keep taking notes at this time, too.
