Designing Materials for Listening


Preview extracts from a local textbook.







                                               
















How closely do you feel that the listening process is mirrored in these materials?

       All of the activities require students to begin with the receiving process where they need to accept the input given out through the audio materials.
       In order to answer the exercises the students have to understand what the audio material is all about or what is being said or discussed throughout the speech or conversation.
      The audio material must be remembered in general by the students. The important elements need to extracted and internalize by the students.
       These materials also require students to evaluate what they have learned and paraphrase it into their own word.
       Activity in the materials responding to what they have heard and understand. For example, the part C in both chapter.

           To what extent do they assist in developing the listening skills of our students?

       Help the students to extract important information from what they have heard.
       Assist students to be an accurate listener.
       Train students to provide proper responds towards the audio material
       Help students to understand vocabulary in context.
