Typical Listening Exercises
 pre-listening activities: usually to activate students’
schemata and to pre-teach some vocabulary
 While-listening activities:
 1) listening for gist
 2) listening for details
 3) language review
 4) listening with tape script
 after-listening activities: students’ reaction to the
text

According to John Field(2008) a
Competent Learner is Able to
 Build the meaning with the help of background
knowledge
 Decode , i.e. recognize sounds and words in the flow of
speech

Pre-listening task: Michael Pollan

More Money on Food» and Say
What he thinks about food culture
in America and what has influenced
it

exclusively on baby food and
wondering why the child cannot
cope with the adult diet (Field, J.
2008:271)
