Listening and
      assessment
More than just, “Do you understand?”
   Listening is not an isolated skill, but part
    of an integrated set needed for
    comprehension and overall learning.
   However, listening can be developed by
    attention to strategies and practise.
   Motivation has a high corollary effect in
    listening.


General Considerations
 We listen for a         Environmental clues
  purpose and with         assist
  expectations.            comprehension, in
 Most listening in        classroom this is
  real life requires a     usually visual aids
  response.               Most discourse
 Visual clues usually     occurs in chunks
  accompany verbal        Informality –
  messages.                colloquialisms,
                           spontaneity, etc



Listening in Real Life
   We must strive to incorporate the real life
    into the classroom.
   Recorded texts with multiple choice
    response isn’t real life
   10x and 10,000 hours
   Our job is to provide venue and exposure



Point is…..
   Sounds – phonetic awareness is necessary
    for reading, spelling, speaking and listening.
    e.g. /θ/, /ð/
   Intonation – in English has a few set
    patterns, but varies wildly. Focus on
    exposure, rather than teaching specifically
   Noise – it is not necessary to understand
    every iota of speech to be a successful
    listener.
   Predicting – activate schemata and listening
    comprehension will go up
   Visual clues – do not stress perfection

General thoughts…..
   Recordings (pro) –
    ◦ Native speaker
    ◦ Repeatable
    ◦ Students can focus on the sounds
   Recordings (con) –
    ◦ Lacks real life visual clues
    ◦ Lacks real life spontaneity – pauses,
      corrections, responses, deliberations
    ◦ Often technical quality is bad
   Recommend that recordings be part of a
    listening exercise unit

Exercises
   Part of a lesson, frequent, over time
   Set up around tasks – note taking (lecture
    type long speech), responses (agreement/
    disagreement), information gap (with
    ability to negotiate for info)
   Activate schemata


Exercises
   Word level –
    ◦ Games involving phonemes (flyswatter game,
      categorise ā/ă)
    ◦ Which language is this?
    ◦ Repetition
    ◦ Tongue twisters (Fox in Socks)
    ◦ Rhyming play – goes well with reading
    ◦ How many times did I say X?
    ◦ Minimal pairs exercises




Listening for perception
   Sentence level –
    ◦   Repetition
    ◦   How many words did I way?
    ◦   Mark the stress
    ◦   Mark the intonation
    ◦   Dictation – spelling is not graded!!!
    ◦   Dictogloss -
   Listening – no response
    ◦ Follow along in the text – use a finger, best
      paired with reading exercises
    ◦ Listen to a description of picture/person, while
      students view the picture
    ◦ Storyboards
    ◦ Read to them
    ◦ Show a movie/tv show




Listening for comprehension
   Listening – short response
    ◦ TPR
    ◦ Yes/no questions
    ◦ Brick stacking – colored bricks made into a pattern
      that needs to be reproduced by each student
    ◦ Classify – students hear a list and mark one or the
      other category
    ◦ Gap-fill – map exercise,
      Gordon Lightfoot – this is also a way to link culture
       into the classroom i.e. Popular music and poetry
    ◦ Sports Scores
    ◦ Family trees
   Listening – longer response
    ◦ Long gap fills (whole lines)
    ◦ Paraphrasing/summarising
    ◦ Predictions
      Phrase: “If I had a nickel…..”
      Intonation: “She didn’t wear a RED dress….”
    ◦ Comprehension questions
   Problem-solving
   Jigsaw listening
    ◦ Maybe conflicting versions
   Interpretive listening –
    ◦ Half of a phone conversation
   Stylistic listening and analysis
    ◦   Interview
    ◦   Comedy
    ◦   Poetry
    ◦   Advertising
   Integrated listenging – listen to one point of
    view, read a text of the other, and compare
    and contrast the points of view

Listening for Study
 Can you test listening?
 Assessment is the better term; we should
  assess how well our students understand
  spoken English, rather than test.
 In this case, any activity that we have
  mentioned could be used as an assessment
  tool – the student succeeds when he or she
  successfully accomplishes the goal.
 Assessment should be on-going,
 it would be very easy to make one task high
  stakes without the children even knowing
  about it.

Listening and listening assessment

  • 1. Listening and assessment More than just, “Do you understand?”
  • 2. Listening is not an isolated skill, but part of an integrated set needed for comprehension and overall learning.  However, listening can be developed by attention to strategies and practise.  Motivation has a high corollary effect in listening. General Considerations
  • 3.  We listen for a  Environmental clues purpose and with assist expectations. comprehension, in  Most listening in classroom this is real life requires a usually visual aids response.  Most discourse  Visual clues usually occurs in chunks accompany verbal  Informality – messages. colloquialisms, spontaneity, etc Listening in Real Life
  • 4. We must strive to incorporate the real life into the classroom.  Recorded texts with multiple choice response isn’t real life  10x and 10,000 hours  Our job is to provide venue and exposure Point is…..
  • 5. Sounds – phonetic awareness is necessary for reading, spelling, speaking and listening. e.g. /θ/, /ð/  Intonation – in English has a few set patterns, but varies wildly. Focus on exposure, rather than teaching specifically  Noise – it is not necessary to understand every iota of speech to be a successful listener.  Predicting – activate schemata and listening comprehension will go up  Visual clues – do not stress perfection General thoughts…..
  • 6. Recordings (pro) – ◦ Native speaker ◦ Repeatable ◦ Students can focus on the sounds  Recordings (con) – ◦ Lacks real life visual clues ◦ Lacks real life spontaneity – pauses, corrections, responses, deliberations ◦ Often technical quality is bad  Recommend that recordings be part of a listening exercise unit Exercises
  • 7. Part of a lesson, frequent, over time  Set up around tasks – note taking (lecture type long speech), responses (agreement/ disagreement), information gap (with ability to negotiate for info)  Activate schemata Exercises
  • 8. Word level – ◦ Games involving phonemes (flyswatter game, categorise ā/ă) ◦ Which language is this? ◦ Repetition ◦ Tongue twisters (Fox in Socks) ◦ Rhyming play – goes well with reading ◦ How many times did I say X? ◦ Minimal pairs exercises Listening for perception
  • 9. Sentence level – ◦ Repetition ◦ How many words did I way? ◦ Mark the stress ◦ Mark the intonation ◦ Dictation – spelling is not graded!!! ◦ Dictogloss -
  • 10. Listening – no response ◦ Follow along in the text – use a finger, best paired with reading exercises ◦ Listen to a description of picture/person, while students view the picture ◦ Storyboards ◦ Read to them ◦ Show a movie/tv show Listening for comprehension
  • 11. Listening – short response ◦ TPR ◦ Yes/no questions ◦ Brick stacking – colored bricks made into a pattern that needs to be reproduced by each student ◦ Classify – students hear a list and mark one or the other category ◦ Gap-fill – map exercise,  Gordon Lightfoot – this is also a way to link culture into the classroom i.e. Popular music and poetry ◦ Sports Scores ◦ Family trees
  • 12. Listening – longer response ◦ Long gap fills (whole lines) ◦ Paraphrasing/summarising ◦ Predictions  Phrase: “If I had a nickel…..”  Intonation: “She didn’t wear a RED dress….” ◦ Comprehension questions
  • 13. Problem-solving  Jigsaw listening ◦ Maybe conflicting versions  Interpretive listening – ◦ Half of a phone conversation  Stylistic listening and analysis ◦ Interview ◦ Comedy ◦ Poetry ◦ Advertising  Integrated listenging – listen to one point of view, read a text of the other, and compare and contrast the points of view Listening for Study
  • 14.  Can you test listening?  Assessment is the better term; we should assess how well our students understand spoken English, rather than test.  In this case, any activity that we have mentioned could be used as an assessment tool – the student succeeds when he or she successfully accomplishes the goal.  Assessment should be on-going,  it would be very easy to make one task high stakes without the children even knowing about it. Assessment
