once• the importance of task based
approach• success-oriented tasks

Problems for students
• Unfamiliar context. • Unknown vocabulary.• Lack of time to process information,
lack of concentration and anxiety about longer texts.
• Too fast. Can’t distinguish separate words.
• Can’t follow the rhythm. Not able to recognise sense groups, inferred message, mood or intonation.
• Difficult accents.• Background noises.
![Page 8: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė8
The importance of pre-listening• prepare students for listening • facilitate the listening process• accelerate the acquiring of the
skill • help to to concentrate on
listening if you have little interest in a topic or situation
![Page 9: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė9
Types of pre-listening tasks • Setting the context • Generating interest • Acquiring knowledge• Activating vocabulary /
language • Predicting content• Checking / understanding the
listening tasks
![Page 10: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė10
Pre- listening tasks in detail• Context
• Activating vocabulary
• Activating the knowledge
• Interest
• Who the speakers are? Where is the place?
• Introduce unknown words, some activities
• Help the unknown with spider graphs or brainstorm
• Visuals • A story from
teacher’s experience
![Page 11: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė11
Visuals in detail
• People remember more if their experience is multi-sensory
• More learning styles can benefit
![Page 12: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė12
The usage of visuals aimed
at more learning styles
for instance Fleming’s VAK (VARK) model
50-85% for visual learners
![Page 13: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė13
It is also claimed that audio visuals account for 2o-30 %
![Page 14: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• true or false statements about any topic.
![Page 19: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė19
Activating vocabulary
It is important to activate vocabulary by:
• Matching words to definitions • Synonym matching• Fill-in-the-blank• Vocabulary speculation• Vocabulary selection/sort
![Page 20: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė20
While listening activities
…done during or immediately after the time they are listening
• allow them to read through it before listening;• keep writing to a minimum during listening; • from global to details;• use questions to focus students' attention;• use predicting to encourage students; • give immediate feedback whenever possible.
![Page 21: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė21
Follow-up tasks
1. Give meaning to the whole listening
2. Students use new knowledge or vocabulary in a less controlled way. Examples:
• Role Play • Discussion: “Have you ever experienced such a
situation?”
• Debate: "Do you agree/disagree?"
![Page 22: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Advertising Adventure –Pre-Listening
A teacher could ask questions while showing pictures:
• Have you seen photos of before and after? How do you feel about them? Do you believe all of the adds like that? What adjectives can we use for a hippo or a spider? Which way to loose weight is more effective and longer lasting?
![Page 33: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

The results of a short survey in our faculty
A survey among basic and the second level students.There are some general trends obvious:
BASIC LEVEL:• The teacher most likely will repeat the item for
students;• Ss like listening and especially when they are good at
it;• Ss improve their listening skills after listening in
class/at home and on the Internet- never in a car;• teachers usually ask questions after the first listening
and only sometimes give feedback; sometimes use visuals
• they watch videos and they like listening while watching them.
• fill- ins and questions are the most difficult tasks for them
![Page 46: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė46
The results of a short survey in our faculty
THE SECOND LEVEL:No great differences could be noticed
between basic and second level.• a few more people do not like listening
tasks;• fewer people will rely on the Internet for
further practice • easier to listen and write at the same
time• teachers do not often use visuals• they less often watch videos • filling- in exercises seem to be the most
difficult for them.
![Page 47: Images of successful listening](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5550ca74b4c905e8318b4853/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
2010.11.12I. Jelkinienė47
To sum up• creating an
environment, which encourages listening;
• positive interaction, actively listening to all students and responding in an open and appropriate manner;
• various possibilities to listen.
