“Una competencia es la integración de habilidades, conocimientos y actitudes en un contexto específico”.
El enfoque en competencias considera que los conocimientos por sí mismos no son lo más importante, sino el uso
que se hace de ellos en situaciones específicas de la vida personal, social y profesional. De este modo, las
competencias requieren una base sólida de conocimientos y ciertas habilidades, los cuales se integran para un
mismo propósito en un determinado contexto.
El presente Módulo de Aprendizaje de la asignatura Listening and Speaking, es una herramienta de suma importancia,
que propiciará tu desarrollo como persona visionaria, competente e innovadora, características que se establecen en
los objetivos de la Reforma Integral de Educación Media Superior que actualmente se está implementando a nivel
nacional.
El Módulo de aprendizaje es uno de los apoyos didácticos que el Colegio de Bachilleres te ofrece con la intención de
estar acorde a los nuevos tiempos, a las nuevas políticas educativas, además de lo que demandan los escenarios
local, nacional e internacional; el módulo se encuentra organizado a través de bloques de aprendizaje y secuencias
didácticas. Una secuencia didáctica es un conjunto de actividades, organizadas en tres momentos: Inicio, desarrollo y
cierre. En el inicio desarrollarás actividades que te permitirán identificar y recuperar las experiencias, los saberes, las
preconcepciones y los conocimientos que ya has adquirido a través de tu formación, mismos que te ayudarán a
abordar con facilidad el tema que se presenta en el desarrollo, donde realizarás actividades que introducen nuevos
conocimientos dándote la oportunidad de contextualizarlos en situaciones de la vida cotidiana, con la finalidad de que
tu aprendizaje sea significativo.
Posteriormente se encuentra el momento de cierre de la secuencia didáctica, donde integrarás todos los saberes que
realizaste en las actividades de inicio y desarrollo.
En todas las actividades de los tres momentos se consideran los saberes conceptuales, procedimentales y
actitudinales. De acuerdo a las características y del propósito de las actividades, éstas se desarrollan de forma
individual, binas o equipos.
Para el desarrollo del trabajo deberás utilizar diversos recursos, desde material bibliográfico, videos, investigación de
campo, etc.
La retroalimentación de tus conocimientos es de suma importancia, de ahí que se te invita a participar de forma activa,
de esta forma aclararás dudas o bien fortalecerás lo aprendido; además en este momento, el docente podrá tener una
visión general del logro de los aprendizajes del grupo.
Recuerda que la evaluación en el enfoque en competencias es un proceso continuo, que permite recabar evidencias a
través de tu trabajo, donde se tomarán en cuenta los tres saberes: el conceptual, procedimental y actitudinal con el
propósito de que apoyado por tu maestro mejores el aprendizaje. Es necesario que realices la autoevaluación, este
ejercicio permite que valores tu actuación y reconozcas tus posibilidades, limitaciones y cambios necesarios para
mejorar tu aprendizaje.
Así también, es recomendable la coevaluación, proceso donde de manera conjunta valoran su actuación, con la
finalidad de fomentar la participación, reflexión y crítica ante situaciones de sus aprendizajes, promoviendo las
actitudes de responsabilidad e integración del grupo.
Nuestra sociedad necesita individuos a nivel medio superior con conocimientos, habilidades, actitudes y valores, que
les permitan integrarse y desarrollarse de manera satisfactoria en el mundo social, profesional y laboral. Para que
contribuyas en ello, es indispensable que asumas una nueva visión y actitud en cuanto a tu rol, es decir, de ser
receptor de contenidos, ahora construirás tu propio conocimiento a través de la problematización y contextualización
de los mismos, situación que te permitirá: Aprender a conocer, aprender a hacer, aprender a ser y aprender a vivir
juntos.

BLOCK 1
Get together in groups of three and practice the “Tongue-Twisters” given below.
Remember that a tongue-twister is a sequence of words that is difficult to pronounce
quickly and correctly. Even native English speakers find the tongue-twisters on this page
difficult to say quickly. Each member of the team takes turns to try pronouncing the
tongue twisters. Say them as fast as possible, but correctly!
A proper copper coffee pot.
Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascals ran.
Long legged ladies last longer.
Mixed biscuits, mixed biscuits.
A box of biscuits, a box of mixed biscuits and a biscuit
mixer!
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled pepper?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper,
where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?
Pink lorry, yellow lorry.
Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather.
She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
The sixth sick Sheik's sixth sheep is sick. [Sometimes described as the hardest tongue-twister in the
English language.]
Swan swam over the pond,
Swim swan swim!
Swan swam back again -
Well swum swan!
Three grey geese in green fields grazing.
We surely shall see the sun shine soon.
Now be creative and write you own tongue twister or if you have access to internet search for one.

What is “Word Stress”?
Word Stress refers to the process whereby particular syllables (or parts of words) are
stressed within a whole word. In general, Sentence Stress is more of a consideration for
overall fluency. Everybody wants to be able to speak English like a native speaker;
However, English pronunciation is always a big problem to many learners. Bad
English pronunciation may confuse people even if you use advanced English
grammar. We can use simple words and simple grammar structures that make
people understand you but we cannot use "simple pronunciation". On the other hand,
good English pronunciation will make people understand you easily and be willing to
listen to you!
You will say that we learn English just for communication; although we speak English with a strong accent, native
speakers can understand us, that's enough. But you should know it is not pleasant to listen to bad pronunciation! For
example, if you are watching T.V. you may want to change the channel when a journalist covers a person who speaks
English without good pronunciation, because that will make the reporter and sometimes even the interviewer feel
uncomfortable although both may be able to speak English fluently as well.
So, how to speak English clearly and confidently? There are two ways: practice and practice! First, practice speaking
each word clearly then, practice speaking each sentence clearly. Bad pronunciation can be a serious problem if it
negatively affects understanding, but we do not need to aim for native-speaker perfection. There is nothing wrong with
sounding foreign, but it is important to be intelligible.
Pronunciation is closely linked to the ear, and listening is a vital part of developing this area. Listening to a model on
tape, CD or video, or using your own voice as a model will be the most effective way of doing this. Teachers will call
upon you as a model, in some cases, very frequently. You need to recognize the value of being a native speaker of
English and adventure it. Reading individual words aloud will help you a lot, because if you catch a mispronunciation
you will be able to identify it.
English is not Phonetic
Always remember that English is not "phonetic". That means that we do not always say a word the same way that we
spell it. Some words can have the same spelling but different pronunciation, for example:
Audio: I like to read.
Audio: I have read that book.
Some words have different spelling but the same pronunciation, for example:
Audio: I have read that book.
Audio: My favorite color is red.
Another aspect you should keep in mind is that English alphabet consists of 26 letters, but it has double that number of
sounds: “52”. Knowing and recognizing the sounds will help you with good pronunciation. Of course, everybody knows
that good pronunciation helps our speaking. But do you know that good pronunciation also helps our listening?
How do you think this information affects your English pronunciation and listening skills?

CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS
Rules of word stress in English.
There are two very simple rules about word stress:
1. One word has only one stress. That means that one word cannot
have two stresses. If you hear two stresses, you hear two words.
Two stresses cannot be one word. It is true that there can be a
"secondary" stress in some words. However, a secondary stress
is much smaller than the main [primary] stress, and is only used
in long words.
2. We can only stress vowels, not consonants.
These rules can help you understand where to put the stress; but don’t
forget that there are many exceptions. It is recommended to try to "feel"
the music of the language and to add the stress naturally ask your
teacher for help.
1st
RULE Stress on first syllable:
Rule Example
Most 2-syllable nouns PRESent, EXport, CHIna, Table
Most 2-syllable adjectives PRESent, SLENder, CLEVer, HAPpy
1. Two syllable words:
a) Noun/Adj. of 2 syllables: Stress 1st syllable:
Ex: Student, table, sticker, happy, random, courage.
Except: Machine, event.
b) Verbs of 2 syllables, stress 2nd syllable:
Ex: To admit, to intent, to construct.
c) Verbs of 2 syllables ending with OW, EN, Y, EL, ER, LE, ISH: Stress 1st syllable.
Ex: To open, to follow, to hurry, to struggle, to flatter, to finish.
2nd
RULE Stress on last syllable:
Rule Example
Most 2-syllable verbs to preSENT, to exPORT, to deCIDE, to begin
2. Two or three syllable words stress 3rd syllable counting backwards:
Ex: To celebrate, curriculum, to unify.
Except: To develop, imagine, banana.
English tip 1
There are many two-syllable words in English whose meaning and class change with a change in stress. The word
present, for example is a two-syllable word. If we stress the first syllable, it is a noun (gift) or an adjective (opposite
of absent). But if we stress the second syllable, it becomes a verb (to offer). More examples: the words export,
import, contract and object can all be nouns or verbs depending on whether the stress is on the first or second
syllable.

15
BLOCK 1
3rd
RULE Stress on penultimate syllable (penultimate = second from end):
Rule Example
Words ending in –ic GRAPHic, geoGRAPHic, geoLOGic
Words ending in -sion and -tion teleVIsion, reveLAtion
3 suffixes:
a) Stress before CIV (consonant-I-vowel).
Ex: Australia, religious, physician.
b) Stress before IC.
Ex: Titanic, Panasonic, Pacific.
Except: Rhetoric, lunatic, catholic, arithmetic, politics, Arabic.
c) Stress on the following ending syllables: ADE, OO, OON, EE, EEN, EER, ESE, ISE, IZE, AIRE, SELF.
Ex: Pickaboo, millionaire, cocoon, analyze, engineer, themselves.
d) Stress before TION, TAL.
Ex: Tradition, continental.
4th
RULE Stress on ante-penultimate syllable (ante-penultimate = third from end):
Rule Example
Words ending in -cy, -ty, -phy and –gy deMOcracy, dependaBIlity, phoTOgraphy, geology
Words ending in –al CRItical, geological
4th
RULE Compound words (words with two parts):
Rule Example
For compound nouns, the stress is on the first part BLACKbird, GREENhouse
For compound adjectives, the stress is on the second
part
bad-TEMpered, old-FASHioned
For compound verbs, the stress is on the second part to underSTAND, to overFLOW
English tip 2
For a few words, native English speakers don't always "agree" on where to put the stress. For example, some
people say teleVIsion and others say TELevision. Another example is: CONtroversy and conTROversy.

Hunt for the true Mona Lisa begins
FLORENCE, Italy | Fri Apr 29, 2011 4:16am EDT
(Reuters) Researchers have begun their hunt for the remains of the woman
who might have been the model for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, hoping
to unravel a mystery that has baffled art historians for over five centuries.
A team of experts armed with a special radar device descended this week on
a dilapidated convent in Florence where they believe the body of the woman
who modeled for da Vinci back in the 16th century is buried. The real Mona
Lisa, Italian art historians say, was Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a rich
Florentine silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo who is thought to
have commissioned the portrait although there is no definitive proof of this.
The researchers say that if they can find her skull, they will be able to
reconstruct her face and compare it with the painting. The true identity of
Mona Lisa and her enigmatic smile have intrigued art lovers around the
world.
According to the Louvre museum in Paris, where the painting is on display, the portrait was likely painted in
Florence between 1503 and 1506 and could have been commissioned to mark one of two events: either when
Gherardini and her husband bought their house or when their second son was born. The key to solving the mystery
may lie at the Saint Orsola convent, a structure in central Florence almost reduced to ruins. Using radar equipment
which can identify objects underground, scientists are scanning the floor in the small church to pinpoint areas
where they may start digging for Gherardini's remains. "We have a document confirming the burial of Gherardini in
1542 here in the convent" said Silvano Vinceti, head of the National Committee for the Promotion of Historic and
Cultural Heritage. Researchers say Gherardini spent the last years of her life at the convent, looked after by her two
daughters who were nuns, and was buried there. "To be sure we have to find the DNA in her bones, and once we
have found that we can compare it with the DNA of her children who are buried at the Santissima Annunziata
convent," said Professor Francesco Mallegni, a paleoanthropologist.
Vinceti has been studying the painting for months and recently claimed to have found symbols hidden in the
portrait. He says Gherardini might have been an early model for the Mona Lisa but that da Vinci was also probably
inspired by the face of his young male apprentice, Gian Giacomo Caprotti, who some say was also his lover. It is
not clear how long the project to study Gherardini's remains will need before coming to any conclusion but some of
her descendants have already expressed skepticism. "Let her rest in peace. What could finding her remains
change to the charm of Leonardo's painting? To look for her bones seems a sacrilege to me," said one of them,
actress and writer Natalia Strozzi.

When you are done, St 2 then explains the article that was just read to him or her, back to St 1. This time, St 1 should
display positive listening skills, such as making eye contact, sitting still, making appropriate facial nods and taking
notes and waiting until the end to ask questions.
After finishing the activity review the article together, and identify things that St. 2 missed because he wasn't listening
closely. Discuss the activity and share your opinion with other pairs. This exercise will demonstrate you how important it
is to use proper listening behaviors to understand the message being conveyed.

Listening skills.
Listening skills are very important. They help us with maintaining good relations with other people. They are also
important in business, workplace and classroom.
When you are in meetings or attending an important lecture, here too they play an important role so that you do not
miss out on the important points. Many people do not have good listening skills as they do not pay much importance
to it. As a result, they find their attention wavering away easily from the current conversation.
So, how to improve listening skills?
Here are 2 simple exercises to improve listening skills:
1. Whenever you are listening to somebody speak, make it a habit to give oral acknowledgments like 'I see', 'I
understand' etc. And then occasionally summarize in your own words what you understood of whatever was
said by the other person. Summarizing the conversation in your own words every now and then, helps you in
two ways; first thing, it keeps you actively involved in the conversation thus preventing your attention from
wandering away, secondly, it can help in preventing any misunderstandings because if you understood
something incorrectly then the speaker can correct you when you are repeating in your words what he/she has
said.
2. Ask questions: Ask questions whenever you need clarification for anything or you do not properly understand
what was said. Asking questions can help keep the conversation alive, prevent misunderstandings, and also
help in developing your listening skills.
There are a lot of factors which affect how much attention we can pay to the other person. The main thing to remember
is that the more actively involved you are in a conversation, the easier it is to pay proper attention to it. You can be
actively involved in any conversation by asking relevant questions, discussing your own point of view on the topic,
acknowledging and summarizing in your own words etc. The main purpose of all good exercises is to develop in you
the active listening.

A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something.
- Wilson Mizner.
Listening skills are a critically important part of successful communication.
Most days we spend a lot of our time talking and listening.
Improving listening skills will not only help you at school but it will most likely improve your
relationships, both familiar and friendly.
There is a big difference between listening and hearing.
In conversation, listening and hearing are related but also very different. Hearing is the
physical act of words being detected by your ears. Listening is making sense of those
words and understanding their meaning.
Listening is a skill that can be improved with practice and there are many rewards for
developing your ability to listen.
It is common to be engaged in a conversation where everyone is competing to share their ideas and to be heard.
Improving our listening skills will not only help us, but enable us to help others.
What are the benefits of being a good listener?
Good listening skills will improve your ability to develop relationships and make you more productive in practically
anything you do. The ability to listen and clearly understand will allow you to:
1. Develop relationships to a deeper level.
2. Understand what is expected of you - at school, home and with friends.
3. Be a better team player.
4. Be an effective problem solver.
5. Better support people who need your help.

CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS
Listening is an active process involving three parts.
1) Hearing.
This is the physical aspect of your body receiving and interpreting sounds. You
may hear these words as part of a conversation "... so I recommend selling ..."
and yet have no idea what it is you are meant to sell. Hearing is critical to
listening, but it is only the first part.
2) Understanding.
This is where your brain processes the words that you hear and derives meaning from
them in the context of the entire conversation. Not only do you develop understanding
of what you are hearing, information is communicated to you at this stage. In the
above example, you may now be aware that the person is talking about the future
profitability of an investment choice and that she thinks that it is in your best interests
to sell now.
3) Response.
Once you understand what you are hearing, the last part is responding. Responding
in a conversation shows that you have heard what was said and that you
understand the intent of the speaker. Responding may involve making a decision to
act on the information you have understood and perhaps replying with your opinion
or comments. Continuing with the example, you may now be in a position to agree
with the other person and act on the advice to sell. You may disagree and enter into
further conversation to dig deeper into the reasons why she is recommending
selling.

Here are some benefits you can get from improving your listening skills.
Truly hearing and understanding what is being said around you can have profound consequences on your success,
not just at work, but at home and while you are out with friends.
Remember, being a good listener is often considered
more important than showing people that you know
how to speak.
Perhaps the most important reason is to be able to win
friends and influence people. Good listeners are rare.
Develop your skills and your value as a friend or work
colleague will increase. They will help you to be
considered a brilliant conversationalist.
Good listeners can avoid saying the wrong thing and
appearing to be tactless.
To help soften harsh feelings. The most expressive
critic can often be subdued by a patient listener.
Letting someone else "talk themselves out" can often
be the solution to an otherwise tense situation.
To better understand people feelings. Do this by
encouraging them to talk about themselves then listen,
really listen to what they have to say.
To increase the other person's confidence and level of
interest in you. To be interesting and attractive to
others, first try be interested in what they have to say.

CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS
Tips for improving listening skills.
Listen carefully so that you will be able to truly understand the message being spoken by the other person. Listening
carefully will let you understand and be able to evaluate the information you are hearing. Try these tips when listening:
•You can't hear if YOU do all the talking. Don't talk too much.
•Think about the topic in advance, if possible. Be prepared to listen.
•Listen with empathy. See the situation from the other's point of view. Try to put yourself
in their shoes.
Be mentally and physically prepared to listen. Put other thoughts
out of your mind. Your attention will be diverted from listening if you
try to think of answers in advance.
•Avoid stereotyping individuals by making assumptions about how you expect them to
act. This will bias your listening.
•Listen to how something is said. Be alert for what is left unsaid.
•Make certain everyone involved gets an opportunity to voice their opinions. If you can
pull it off, don't let one person dominate the conversation. Ask questions that will involve
the quiet ones.
•Face those you are talking with, lean slightly forward, and make eye contact. Use body
to show your interest, concern.
Be courteous; don't interrupt. Take notes if you worry about
forgetting a particular point.

Discussion article: “What are the keys to being a good listener?”
Listening is an activity that requires practice and concentration. Build up your listening skills be practicing each of these
components to listening.
1) Maintain eye contact and show you are interested in the conversation.
Looking out the window or playing with your hair can give the impression
that your mind is drifting away. Sit or stand reasonably still as fidgeting
is often taken as a sign of boredom or that you are bursting to "tell"
your side of the story.
2) Actually listen. Don't start thinking about your answer or
response to what you are hearing. Listen with the intention of
understanding.
3) Show your understanding of the speakers feelings with
appropriate physical gestures, for example, smile and laugh at funny
things, nod your head when you agree.
4) Don't interrupt the speaker, unless there is a piece of space junk coming right at her. Let the speaker finish what
they have to say. This does not always work as some speakers seem to lose all sense of time when they are talking
about matters close to their heart.
5) Use your body language to encourage the speaker, for example, lean toward the speaker to show her that you
want to hear more.
6) Take note of body language and facial gestures as what is not being said is often just as important as what is
being said.
7) Concentrate. Keep your mind focused on what is being said. If time is passing along and you are getting tired from
lack of movement, shift your position but keep tip #5 in mind when you do.
8) Respond by asking questions about the topic being discussed or by adding something to the discussion - if you
have a few more minutes, I invite you to read about additional listening skills or advanced skills.

CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS
The definition of listening skills.
By Lesley Barker, eHow Contributor.
Updated: February 09, 2011.
The Definition of Listening Skills thumbnail Communication is key to a healthy relationship.
To keep a relationship healthy, there has to be good communication. It doesn't matter if
the relationship is with an intimate, casual or business partner. The best way to be a
great communicator is to be a really good listener. This makes people feel respected
as well as understood.
I. Identification:
Listening skills are essential in the school, the family and the community at large. Careers in communications,
management, planning, sales, to name a few, rely on good listening skills. Listening, however, is more than just being
able to hear and understand what someone else says. Listening skills involve etiquette, asking for clarification, showing
empathy and providing an appropriate response.
II. Body Language:
Good listening skills include using body language that empowers the speaker. You should make eye contact with the
speaker. In a large auditorium or in a classroom, this means keeping your eyes looking at the speaker, not down or
gazing at some daydream. Keep your hands down, not folded across your chest. Sit up and look alert.
III. Respect:
People who have good listening skills show respect to the speaker by not interrupting him while he is talking. Even if
the speaker stutters or is slow to speak or select his words, being patient and restraining yourself from finishing his
sentences is a mark of a good listener.
IV. Comprehension:
Good listening skills depend on good comprehension. Demonstrate that you understand by restating what you think
you have heard. Then ask if you, in fact, did hear correctly. Ask questions that request specific clarification on points
that you are unsure about. Be cognizant of the length of time that you speak, making sure not to dominate or usurp the
conversation.
V. Response:
Good listening skills are measured by the response of the listener.
First, the response should validate the speaker with etiquette and
empathy. Next, it should show that the listener understands the
message. When the message has been adequately delivered and
received, the result should be an action or statement that
demonstrates that there has been a transaction between the
speaker and the listener.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why did you choose this person? ____________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________________________
One of the members of the team should write all answers of previous questions on a flipchart. Be sure the final list
looks something like the following list:
a) Was patient, didn't rush me.
b) Let me talk, did not interrupt.
c) I know he or she would not gossip and would be confidential.
d) Was not judgmental.
e) Was calm, warm (body language, tone of voice).
f) I could trust the person.
g) Made good eye contact with me.
h) Nodded his or her head when I was talking.
i) Understood my feelings (i.e., "It sounds like you are feeling worried.").
j) Made sure he or she understood what I was saying by repeating back or summarizing what I said (i.e., "So let
me see if I understand. Your friend said she would call you back, but it's been three days and you haven't
heard from her.").
How did it feel to be listened to? _____________________________________________________________________

What did that person do that made him or her a bad listener? ________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
One of the members of the team should write all answers of previous questions on a different flipchart. Be sure
the final list looks something like the following list:
a) Interrupted, did not let me talk.
b) Used uninviting body language (harsh tone of voice, closed body posture, no eye contact).
c) Laughed at me.
d) Minimized what I was saying "All kids go through this. It's nothing to worry about." Or "You are only a teenager.
How stressful can your problems be?".
e) Advised or told me what to do without listening to me — "If I were you, I would …"
f) Put me down, insulted me "That's a stupid idea."
Why is it sometimes difficult for people to be good listeners? _____________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
What are some possible barriers to listening? Some possible responses are:
a) Don't know how to listen
b) Don't have time to listen
c) Not understanding someone because of language, unclear messages, crying, etc.
d) Feeling tired or sick
e) Feeling distracted by other problems on his/her mind or by things going on in the background like a phone
ringing, baby crying, etc.
f) Wanting to "solve" the problem in order to be helpful
g) Wanting to redirect conversation about him/herself instead of staying focused on the person talking and
his/her story
Do you think people are always good listeners? ________________________________________________________
Why or why not? ___________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Remember how important body language is to become a good listener. Body language includes body
movements, facial expressions, tone of voice and gestures. Making eye contact and facing your friend shows
them you are interested and paying attention. Some psychologists believe that 80% of what a person
communicates is through his or her body language rather than the words that come out of his or her mouth!

1. Read the following text in teams of four.
If you think of the English courses that as a student you’ve been required to take, for sure many of
those sessions have developed some skills that have established most of your communication
skills. On this Module we’ll focus essentially on one of the skills that should have been developed
in those courses: your Oral skill (Interpersonal Communication and Public Speaking). Not only
does this skill meet requirements, but it also molds you as a learner into well-rounded individuals
providing the assistance needed for life.
All of you should also acquire in order to have "the four English skills and necessary knowledge to be educated
individuals, life-long learners, and responsible citizens" as part of these capabilities for communication, the
opportunity to be able to:
 Organize and express ideas clearly and appropriately.
 Control standard use of written and oral communication.
 Appreciate alternative forms of expression, including art, dance, music, and literature.
 Distinguish between the medium and the message.
 Listen, observe, interpret, and understand others.
Now, if you think you are struggling as a student you’ll need:
• Encouragement and explicit instruction to develop your strengths and concentrate on your needs.
• A safe and encouraging environment to practice oral skills, especially if English is not your first language.
• Extra practice, a peer to work with, and support from the teacher before presenting.
• Don’t forget that well-chosen partners or team members will help you a lot; get together with students who
can model knowledge, skills and strategies at a level that is accessible and not intimidating.
2. Identify the main idea of the text. Write it here.

  • 7. 7 PRELIMINARES “Una competencia es la integración de habilidades, conocimientos y actitudes en un contexto específico”. El enfoque en competencias considera que los conocimientos por sí mismos no son lo más importante, sino el uso que se hace de ellos en situaciones específicas de la vida personal, social y profesional. De este modo, las competencias requieren una base sólida de conocimientos y ciertas habilidades, los cuales se integran para un mismo propósito en un determinado contexto. El presente Módulo de Aprendizaje de la asignatura Listening and Speaking, es una herramienta de suma importancia, que propiciará tu desarrollo como persona visionaria, competente e innovadora, características que se establecen en los objetivos de la Reforma Integral de Educación Media Superior que actualmente se está implementando a nivel nacional. El Módulo de aprendizaje es uno de los apoyos didácticos que el Colegio de Bachilleres te ofrece con la intención de estar acorde a los nuevos tiempos, a las nuevas políticas educativas, además de lo que demandan los escenarios local, nacional e internacional; el módulo se encuentra organizado a través de bloques de aprendizaje y secuencias didácticas. Una secuencia didáctica es un conjunto de actividades, organizadas en tres momentos: Inicio, desarrollo y cierre. En el inicio desarrollarás actividades que te permitirán identificar y recuperar las experiencias, los saberes, las preconcepciones y los conocimientos que ya has adquirido a través de tu formación, mismos que te ayudarán a abordar con facilidad el tema que se presenta en el desarrollo, donde realizarás actividades que introducen nuevos conocimientos dándote la oportunidad de contextualizarlos en situaciones de la vida cotidiana, con la finalidad de que tu aprendizaje sea significativo. Posteriormente se encuentra el momento de cierre de la secuencia didáctica, donde integrarás todos los saberes que realizaste en las actividades de inicio y desarrollo. En todas las actividades de los tres momentos se consideran los saberes conceptuales, procedimentales y actitudinales. De acuerdo a las características y del propósito de las actividades, éstas se desarrollan de forma individual, binas o equipos. Para el desarrollo del trabajo deberás utilizar diversos recursos, desde material bibliográfico, videos, investigación de campo, etc. La retroalimentación de tus conocimientos es de suma importancia, de ahí que se te invita a participar de forma activa, de esta forma aclararás dudas o bien fortalecerás lo aprendido; además en este momento, el docente podrá tener una visión general del logro de los aprendizajes del grupo. Recuerda que la evaluación en el enfoque en competencias es un proceso continuo, que permite recabar evidencias a través de tu trabajo, donde se tomarán en cuenta los tres saberes: el conceptual, procedimental y actitudinal con el propósito de que apoyado por tu maestro mejores el aprendizaje. Es necesario que realices la autoevaluación, este ejercicio permite que valores tu actuación y reconozcas tus posibilidades, limitaciones y cambios necesarios para mejorar tu aprendizaje. Así también, es recomendable la coevaluación, proceso donde de manera conjunta valoran su actuación, con la finalidad de fomentar la participación, reflexión y crítica ante situaciones de sus aprendizajes, promoviendo las actitudes de responsabilidad e integración del grupo. Nuestra sociedad necesita individuos a nivel medio superior con conocimientos, habilidades, actitudes y valores, que les permitan integrarse y desarrollarse de manera satisfactoria en el mundo social, profesional y laboral. Para que contribuyas en ello, es indispensable que asumas una nueva visión y actitud en cuanto a tu rol, es decir, de ser receptor de contenidos, ahora construirás tu propio conocimiento a través de la problematización y contextualización de los mismos, situación que te permitirá: Aprender a conocer, aprender a hacer, aprender a ser y aprender a vivir juntos.

  • 11. 11 BLOCK 1 Get together in groups of three and practice the “Tongue-Twisters” given below. Remember that a tongue-twister is a sequence of words that is difficult to pronounce quickly and correctly. Even native English speakers find the tongue-twisters on this page difficult to say quickly. Each member of the team takes turns to try pronouncing the tongue twisters. Say them as fast as possible, but correctly! A proper copper coffee pot. Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascals ran. Long legged ladies last longer. Mixed biscuits, mixed biscuits. A box of biscuits, a box of mixed biscuits and a biscuit mixer! Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled pepper? If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper, where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked? Pink lorry, yellow lorry. Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather. She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore. The sixth sick Sheik's sixth sheep is sick. [Sometimes described as the hardest tongue-twister in the English language.] Swan swam over the pond, Swim swan swim! Swan swam back again - Well swum swan! Three grey geese in green fields grazing. We surely shall see the sun shine soon. Now be creative and write you own tongue twister or if you have access to internet search for one. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Compare results with the rest of the teams.

  • 13. 13 BLOCK 1 Development activities What is “Word Stress”? Word Stress refers to the process whereby particular syllables (or parts of words) are stressed within a whole word. In general, Sentence Stress is more of a consideration for overall fluency. Everybody wants to be able to speak English like a native speaker; However, English pronunciation is always a big problem to many learners. Bad English pronunciation may confuse people even if you use advanced English grammar. We can use simple words and simple grammar structures that make people understand you but we cannot use "simple pronunciation". On the other hand, good English pronunciation will make people understand you easily and be willing to listen to you! You will say that we learn English just for communication; although we speak English with a strong accent, native speakers can understand us, that's enough. But you should know it is not pleasant to listen to bad pronunciation! For example, if you are watching T.V. you may want to change the channel when a journalist covers a person who speaks English without good pronunciation, because that will make the reporter and sometimes even the interviewer feel uncomfortable although both may be able to speak English fluently as well. So, how to speak English clearly and confidently? There are two ways: practice and practice! First, practice speaking each word clearly then, practice speaking each sentence clearly. Bad pronunciation can be a serious problem if it negatively affects understanding, but we do not need to aim for native-speaker perfection. There is nothing wrong with sounding foreign, but it is important to be intelligible. Pronunciation is closely linked to the ear, and listening is a vital part of developing this area. Listening to a model on tape, CD or video, or using your own voice as a model will be the most effective way of doing this. Teachers will call upon you as a model, in some cases, very frequently. You need to recognize the value of being a native speaker of English and adventure it. Reading individual words aloud will help you a lot, because if you catch a mispronunciation you will be able to identify it. English is not Phonetic Always remember that English is not "phonetic". That means that we do not always say a word the same way that we spell it. Some words can have the same spelling but different pronunciation, for example: Audio: I like to read. Audio: I have read that book. Some words have different spelling but the same pronunciation, for example: Audio: I have read that book. Audio: My favorite color is red. Another aspect you should keep in mind is that English alphabet consists of 26 letters, but it has double that number of sounds: “52”. Knowing and recognizing the sounds will help you with good pronunciation. Of course, everybody knows that good pronunciation helps our speaking. But do you know that good pronunciation also helps our listening? How do you think this information affects your English pronunciation and listening skills? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
  • 14. 14 CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS Rules of word stress in English. There are two very simple rules about word stress: 1. One word has only one stress. That means that one word cannot have two stresses. If you hear two stresses, you hear two words. Two stresses cannot be one word. It is true that there can be a "secondary" stress in some words. However, a secondary stress is much smaller than the main [primary] stress, and is only used in long words. 2. We can only stress vowels, not consonants. These rules can help you understand where to put the stress; but don’t forget that there are many exceptions. It is recommended to try to "feel" the music of the language and to add the stress naturally ask your teacher for help. 1st RULE Stress on first syllable: Rule Example Most 2-syllable nouns PRESent, EXport, CHIna, Table Most 2-syllable adjectives PRESent, SLENder, CLEVer, HAPpy 1. Two syllable words: a) Noun/Adj. of 2 syllables: Stress 1st syllable: Ex: Student, table, sticker, happy, random, courage. Except: Machine, event. b) Verbs of 2 syllables, stress 2nd syllable: Ex: To admit, to intent, to construct. c) Verbs of 2 syllables ending with OW, EN, Y, EL, ER, LE, ISH: Stress 1st syllable. Ex: To open, to follow, to hurry, to struggle, to flatter, to finish. 2nd RULE Stress on last syllable: Rule Example Most 2-syllable verbs to preSENT, to exPORT, to deCIDE, to begin 2. Two or three syllable words stress 3rd syllable counting backwards: Ex: To celebrate, curriculum, to unify. Except: To develop, imagine, banana. English tip 1 There are many two-syllable words in English whose meaning and class change with a change in stress. The word present, for example is a two-syllable word. If we stress the first syllable, it is a noun (gift) or an adjective (opposite of absent). But if we stress the second syllable, it becomes a verb (to offer). More examples: the words export, import, contract and object can all be nouns or verbs depending on whether the stress is on the first or second syllable. Word Number of syllables dog dog 1 green green 1 quite quite 1 quiet qui-et 2 orange or-ange 2 table ta-ble 2 expensive ex-pen-sive 3 interesting in-ter-est-ing 4 realistic re-al-is-tic 4 unexceptional un-ex-cep-tio-nal 5
  • 15. 15 BLOCK 1 3rd RULE Stress on penultimate syllable (penultimate = second from end): Rule Example Words ending in –ic GRAPHic, geoGRAPHic, geoLOGic Words ending in -sion and -tion teleVIsion, reveLAtion 3 suffixes: a) Stress before CIV (consonant-I-vowel). Ex: Australia, religious, physician. b) Stress before IC. Ex: Titanic, Panasonic, Pacific. Except: Rhetoric, lunatic, catholic, arithmetic, politics, Arabic. c) Stress on the following ending syllables: ADE, OO, OON, EE, EEN, EER, ESE, ISE, IZE, AIRE, SELF. Ex: Pickaboo, millionaire, cocoon, analyze, engineer, themselves. d) Stress before TION, TAL. Ex: Tradition, continental. 4th RULE Stress on ante-penultimate syllable (ante-penultimate = third from end): Rule Example Words ending in -cy, -ty, -phy and –gy deMOcracy, dependaBIlity, phoTOgraphy, geology Words ending in –al CRItical, geological 4th RULE Compound words (words with two parts): Rule Example For compound nouns, the stress is on the first part BLACKbird, GREENhouse For compound adjectives, the stress is on the second part bad-TEMpered, old-FASHioned For compound verbs, the stress is on the second part to underSTAND, to overFLOW English tip 2 For a few words, native English speakers don't always "agree" on where to put the stress. For example, some people say teleVIsion and others say TELevision. Another example is: CONtroversy and conTROversy.

Activity: 1 Hunt for the true Mona Lisa begins FLORENCE, Italy | Fri Apr 29, 2011 4:16am EDT (Reuters) Researchers have begun their hunt for the remains of the woman who might have been the model for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, hoping to unravel a mystery that has baffled art historians for over five centuries. A team of experts armed with a special radar device descended this week on a dilapidated convent in Florence where they believe the body of the woman who modeled for da Vinci back in the 16th century is buried. The real Mona Lisa, Italian art historians say, was Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a rich Florentine silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo who is thought to have commissioned the portrait although there is no definitive proof of this. The researchers say that if they can find her skull, they will be able to reconstruct her face and compare it with the painting. The true identity of Mona Lisa and her enigmatic smile have intrigued art lovers around the world. According to the Louvre museum in Paris, where the painting is on display, the portrait was likely painted in Florence between 1503 and 1506 and could have been commissioned to mark one of two events: either when Gherardini and her husband bought their house or when their second son was born. The key to solving the mystery may lie at the Saint Orsola convent, a structure in central Florence almost reduced to ruins. Using radar equipment which can identify objects underground, scientists are scanning the floor in the small church to pinpoint areas where they may start digging for Gherardini's remains. "We have a document confirming the burial of Gherardini in 1542 here in the convent" said Silvano Vinceti, head of the National Committee for the Promotion of Historic and Cultural Heritage. Researchers say Gherardini spent the last years of her life at the convent, looked after by her two daughters who were nuns, and was buried there. "To be sure we have to find the DNA in her bones, and once we have found that we can compare it with the DNA of her children who are buried at the Santissima Annunziata convent," said Professor Francesco Mallegni, a paleoanthropologist. Vinceti has been studying the painting for months and recently claimed to have found symbols hidden in the portrait. He says Gherardini might have been an early model for the Mona Lisa but that da Vinci was also probably inspired by the face of his young male apprentice, Gian Giacomo Caprotti, who some say was also his lover. It is not clear how long the project to study Gherardini's remains will need before coming to any conclusion but some of her descendants have already expressed skepticism. "Let her rest in peace. What could finding her remains change to the charm of Leonardo's painting? To look for her bones seems a sacrilege to me," said one of them, actress and writer Natalia Strozzi.

  • 32. 32 CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS Development activities Listening skills. Listening skills are very important. They help us with maintaining good relations with other people. They are also important in business, workplace and classroom. When you are in meetings or attending an important lecture, here too they play an important role so that you do not miss out on the important points. Many people do not have good listening skills as they do not pay much importance to it. As a result, they find their attention wavering away easily from the current conversation. So, how to improve listening skills? Here are 2 simple exercises to improve listening skills: 1. Whenever you are listening to somebody speak, make it a habit to give oral acknowledgments like 'I see', 'I understand' etc. And then occasionally summarize in your own words what you understood of whatever was said by the other person. Summarizing the conversation in your own words every now and then, helps you in two ways; first thing, it keeps you actively involved in the conversation thus preventing your attention from wandering away, secondly, it can help in preventing any misunderstandings because if you understood something incorrectly then the speaker can correct you when you are repeating in your words what he/she has said. 2. Ask questions: Ask questions whenever you need clarification for anything or you do not properly understand what was said. Asking questions can help keep the conversation alive, prevent misunderstandings, and also help in developing your listening skills. There are a lot of factors which affect how much attention we can pay to the other person. The main thing to remember is that the more actively involved you are in a conversation, the easier it is to pay proper attention to it. You can be actively involved in any conversation by asking relevant questions, discussing your own point of view on the topic, acknowledging and summarizing in your own words etc. The main purpose of all good exercises is to develop in you the active listening.

  • 35. 35 BLOCK 1 A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something. - Wilson Mizner. Listening skills are a critically important part of successful communication. Most days we spend a lot of our time talking and listening. Improving listening skills will not only help you at school but it will most likely improve your relationships, both familiar and friendly. There is a big difference between listening and hearing. In conversation, listening and hearing are related but also very different. Hearing is the physical act of words being detected by your ears. Listening is making sense of those words and understanding their meaning. Listening is a skill that can be improved with practice and there are many rewards for developing your ability to listen. It is common to be engaged in a conversation where everyone is competing to share their ideas and to be heard. Improving our listening skills will not only help us, but enable us to help others. What are the benefits of being a good listener? Good listening skills will improve your ability to develop relationships and make you more productive in practically anything you do. The ability to listen and clearly understand will allow you to: 1. Develop relationships to a deeper level. 2. Understand what is expected of you - at school, home and with friends. 3. Be a better team player. 4. Be an effective problem solver. 5. Better support people who need your help.

  • 38. 38 CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS Listening is an active process involving three parts. 1) Hearing. This is the physical aspect of your body receiving and interpreting sounds. You may hear these words as part of a conversation "... so I recommend selling ..." and yet have no idea what it is you are meant to sell. Hearing is critical to listening, but it is only the first part. 2) Understanding. This is where your brain processes the words that you hear and derives meaning from them in the context of the entire conversation. Not only do you develop understanding of what you are hearing, information is communicated to you at this stage. In the above example, you may now be aware that the person is talking about the future profitability of an investment choice and that she thinks that it is in your best interests to sell now. 3) Response. Once you understand what you are hearing, the last part is responding. Responding in a conversation shows that you have heard what was said and that you understand the intent of the speaker. Responding may involve making a decision to act on the information you have understood and perhaps replying with your opinion or comments. Continuing with the example, you may now be in a position to agree with the other person and act on the advice to sell. You may disagree and enter into further conversation to dig deeper into the reasons why she is recommending selling.
  • 39. 39 BLOCK 1 Here are some benefits you can get from improving your listening skills. Truly hearing and understanding what is being said around you can have profound consequences on your success, not just at work, but at home and while you are out with friends. Remember, being a good listener is often considered more important than showing people that you know how to speak. Perhaps the most important reason is to be able to win friends and influence people. Good listeners are rare. Develop your skills and your value as a friend or work colleague will increase. They will help you to be considered a brilliant conversationalist. Good listeners can avoid saying the wrong thing and appearing to be tactless. To help soften harsh feelings. The most expressive critic can often be subdued by a patient listener. Letting someone else "talk themselves out" can often be the solution to an otherwise tense situation. To better understand people feelings. Do this by encouraging them to talk about themselves then listen, really listen to what they have to say. To increase the other person's confidence and level of interest in you. To be interesting and attractive to others, first try be interested in what they have to say.
  • 40. 40 CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS Tips for improving listening skills. Listen carefully so that you will be able to truly understand the message being spoken by the other person. Listening carefully will let you understand and be able to evaluate the information you are hearing. Try these tips when listening: •You can't hear if YOU do all the talking. Don't talk too much. •Think about the topic in advance, if possible. Be prepared to listen. •Listen with empathy. See the situation from the other's point of view. Try to put yourself in their shoes. Be mentally and physically prepared to listen. Put other thoughts out of your mind. Your attention will be diverted from listening if you try to think of answers in advance. •Avoid stereotyping individuals by making assumptions about how you expect them to act. This will bias your listening. •Listen to how something is said. Be alert for what is left unsaid. •Make certain everyone involved gets an opportunity to voice their opinions. If you can pull it off, don't let one person dominate the conversation. Ask questions that will involve the quiet ones. •Face those you are talking with, lean slightly forward, and make eye contact. Use body to show your interest, concern. Be courteous; don't interrupt. Take notes if you worry about forgetting a particular point.

  • 42. 42 CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS Discussion article: “What are the keys to being a good listener?” Listening is an activity that requires practice and concentration. Build up your listening skills be practicing each of these components to listening. 1) Maintain eye contact and show you are interested in the conversation. Looking out the window or playing with your hair can give the impression that your mind is drifting away. Sit or stand reasonably still as fidgeting is often taken as a sign of boredom or that you are bursting to "tell" your side of the story. 2) Actually listen. Don't start thinking about your answer or response to what you are hearing. Listen with the intention of understanding. 3) Show your understanding of the speakers feelings with appropriate physical gestures, for example, smile and laugh at funny things, nod your head when you agree. 4) Don't interrupt the speaker, unless there is a piece of space junk coming right at her. Let the speaker finish what they have to say. This does not always work as some speakers seem to lose all sense of time when they are talking about matters close to their heart. 5) Use your body language to encourage the speaker, for example, lean toward the speaker to show her that you want to hear more. 6) Take note of body language and facial gestures as what is not being said is often just as important as what is being said. 7) Concentrate. Keep your mind focused on what is being said. If time is passing along and you are getting tired from lack of movement, shift your position but keep tip #5 in mind when you do. 8) Respond by asking questions about the topic being discussed or by adding something to the discussion - if you have a few more minutes, I invite you to read about additional listening skills or advanced skills.

  • 44. 44 CONSIDERING PRONUNCIATION AND LISTENING SKILLS The definition of listening skills. By Lesley Barker, eHow Contributor. Updated: February 09, 2011. The Definition of Listening Skills thumbnail Communication is key to a healthy relationship. To keep a relationship healthy, there has to be good communication. It doesn't matter if the relationship is with an intimate, casual or business partner. The best way to be a great communicator is to be a really good listener. This makes people feel respected as well as understood. I. Identification: Listening skills are essential in the school, the family and the community at large. Careers in communications, management, planning, sales, to name a few, rely on good listening skills. Listening, however, is more than just being able to hear and understand what someone else says. Listening skills involve etiquette, asking for clarification, showing empathy and providing an appropriate response. II. Body Language: Good listening skills include using body language that empowers the speaker. You should make eye contact with the speaker. In a large auditorium or in a classroom, this means keeping your eyes looking at the speaker, not down or gazing at some daydream. Keep your hands down, not folded across your chest. Sit up and look alert. III. Respect: People who have good listening skills show respect to the speaker by not interrupting him while he is talking. Even if the speaker stutters or is slow to speak or select his words, being patient and restraining yourself from finishing his sentences is a mark of a good listener. IV. Comprehension: Good listening skills depend on good comprehension. Demonstrate that you understand by restating what you think you have heard. Then ask if you, in fact, did hear correctly. Ask questions that request specific clarification on points that you are unsure about. Be cognizant of the length of time that you speak, making sure not to dominate or usurp the conversation. V. Response: Good listening skills are measured by the response of the listener. First, the response should validate the speaker with etiquette and empathy. Next, it should show that the listener understands the message. When the message has been adequately delivered and received, the result should be an action or statement that demonstrates that there has been a transaction between the speaker and the listener.

  • 49. 49 BLOCK 1 What did that person do that made him or her a bad listener? ________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ One of the members of the team should write all answers of previous questions on a different flipchart. Be sure the final list looks something like the following list: a) Interrupted, did not let me talk. b) Used uninviting body language (harsh tone of voice, closed body posture, no eye contact). c) Laughed at me. d) Minimized what I was saying "All kids go through this. It's nothing to worry about." Or "You are only a teenager. How stressful can your problems be?". e) Advised or told me what to do without listening to me — "If I were you, I would …" f) Put me down, insulted me "That's a stupid idea." Why is it sometimes difficult for people to be good listeners? _____________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ What are some possible barriers to listening? Some possible responses are: a) Don't know how to listen b) Don't have time to listen c) Not understanding someone because of language, unclear messages, crying, etc. d) Feeling tired or sick e) Feeling distracted by other problems on his/her mind or by things going on in the background like a phone ringing, baby crying, etc. f) Wanting to "solve" the problem in order to be helpful g) Wanting to redirect conversation about him/herself instead of staying focused on the person talking and his/her story Do you think people are always good listeners? ________________________________________________________ Why or why not? ___________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Remember how important body language is to become a good listener. Body language includes body movements, facial expressions, tone of voice and gestures. Making eye contact and facing your friend shows them you are interested and paying attention. Some psychologists believe that 80% of what a person communicates is through his or her body language rather than the words that come out of his or her mouth! What do you think about this paragraph?

Co-evaluation C MC NC Rating awarded by the teacher 1. Read the following text in teams of four. If you think of the English courses that as a student you’ve been required to take, for sure many of those sessions have developed some skills that have established most of your communication skills. On this Module we’ll focus essentially on one of the skills that should have been developed in those courses: your Oral skill (Interpersonal Communication and Public Speaking). Not only does this skill meet requirements, but it also molds you as a learner into well-rounded individuals providing the assistance needed for life. All of you should also acquire in order to have "the four English skills and necessary knowledge to be educated individuals, life-long learners, and responsible citizens" as part of these capabilities for communication, the opportunity to be able to:  Organize and express ideas clearly and appropriately.  Control standard use of written and oral communication.  Appreciate alternative forms of expression, including art, dance, music, and literature.  Distinguish between the medium and the message.  Listen, observe, interpret, and understand others. Now, if you think you are struggling as a student you’ll need: • Encouragement and explicit instruction to develop your strengths and concentrate on your needs. • A safe and encouraging environment to practice oral skills, especially if English is not your first language. • Extra practice, a peer to work with, and support from the teacher before presenting. • Don’t forget that well-chosen partners or team members will help you a lot; get together with students who can model knowledge, skills and strategies at a level that is accessible and not intimidating. 2.
