Go beyond fact-based questions

Get planning and preparation right!

Always consider:

Are there cues that enable students to pick up what they can without trying to translate every word?

Does the audio material meet the lesson requirements in terms of quality, content, and vocabulary? Is the speaker clear?

Is the audio equipment used to play or to listen to the audio material of sufficient quality?

Are there lots of external or background noise which makes audio content difficult to hear?

Do any of your students have a physical limitation that makes listening difficult and which requires extra support?

The suffix '-ing' suggests the present participle.

Type in several words that end in
'-ing'.

Example: snowing.

Before seeking to teach listening skills, it’s vital that educators ensure that the right environment is established in which listening can take place.

If we explicitly taught listening skills to every child, we would likely see benefits in terms of their ability to acquire knowledge and skills in a range of contexts.
