Listening Skill

2.  Have you ever felt the need to create your own teaching
resources?
 Have you spent the tremendous amount of your time
searching through the net to find pedagogic materials which
are authentic, interesting, relevant, and meaningful to the
learners?
 Do you want to have access to resources which can be
exploited, and also modified for teaching different language
skills to learners of different language proficiency levels?

3.  Have you ever concerned over promoting deeper understanding of
learners’ own cultural religious heritage as they learn English? Do
you want them to learn English in an intimate and familiar context
through a wide variety of topics, such as, art, literature, history,
music, architecture, and etc.?
 If you answered YES to at least one of the questions above, then I
should say you are in a right place! Only one slide away from
getting to know a treasure of teaching/learning resources with
Iran’s program.
Come along with me!

4. By clicking on the menu “Program” a list drops down from
which you can choose the topic of your interest and watch the
documentary. All videos are about reporters who travel to
different cities in Iran and present the life style, cuisine, history,
religion, art, literature, architecture, and the culture in that local
region.

5. We can use any of
these videos to
create different
types of interesting
learning activities
Let’s go to
Events
Yalda Night

6. As an example while learners are watching the following
video (which can be uploaded on a weblog or accessed
through this link:
https://iran.presstv.com/newsdetail/History--
Culture/28337/Yalda-Night, they can be asked to go to
the address
file:///L:/ax/YaldaNight.htm
and do the exercise created by Hotspot Software.

7. In addition to listening skill, the same video can be
employed as a prompt for developing other language
skills, such as speaking and writing.
