Introducing Extensive Listening into
your curriculum
• A regular task for every student, e.g, once a
week (but refrain from laborious post-listening
homework and assessments)
• A self-directed journey: Ss choose what they
like to listen to, and report their progress to
you once periodically
• Supplement your regular teaching units with
extensive listening materials
But perhaps most important of all
Show students that extensive
listening is enjoyable
I want to share with
you an encouraging
experience that I had
yesterday. ……
What’s on Paul’s iPhone?

speak
• BBC: Friday Night
Comedy
