Listening is vital in the language classroom because itprovides input for the learner.
Without understanding input at the right level, any learningsimply cannot begin.
Listening is thus fundamental to speaking.

TWO VIEWSBOTTOM-UP PROCESSING
1. Listening is a process ofdecoding the sounds that
one hears in a linear
fashion.
2. From the smallestmeaningful units
(phonemes) to complete
texts.
3. Phonemic units-words-sentences-meaningful
texts.
TOP-DOWN INTERPRETATION
1. The listeners actively
constructs or reconstructs
the original meaning of the
speaker using incoming
sounds as clues.2. In this reconstruction
process, the listener uses
prior knowledge of the
context to make sense ofwhat he or she hears.

Problems we face
Training students in listening skills presents problems for both
the teacher and the students =reading materials.
A written text is static. It can be consumed at the speed of the
reader, and read again and again.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
14/65
Problems we face
Spoken text on video or audio can certainlybe repeated but it still happens at itsrate.
Of course in a conversation a listener canask the speaker to repeat what it is beingsaid, but the same is not true in a lecture youare listening to, or the radio program that
flashes past.

E.g.Interviewer: Do has this everdoes this cause you any problems?
I mean do you get, do you get a lot of attention that you dontwant from the media?
Sue: Um yeah, you know, sort of knocking on my door, eight oclock in themorning saying er tell you a funny story I mean I havent had alot of hassle from the press.

Our Job To help them disregard these phenomena.
To help them concentrate instead on the main message ofwhat is being said.
They do this in their own language, and are not sidetracked
by these phenomena, at least as far as comprehension is
concerned.
We must make sure they can do the same in English, although
clearly in acceptable stages.

Major Problem
The actual wayin which listening is presented to thestudents. The most common form of doing is through the
use of a CD player.
REASONS
Theres no limit to the variety of voices.
CDs are small.
CD players are portable.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
23/65
A nerve racking experience Hardly natural for 30 to 40
people to sit in silence
listening to a CD.
Sts feel threatened whenthey begin not to
understand what they are
hearing, they gradually
loose the thread.
Disembodied voices in a
foreign language are much
difficult to cope with.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion

CDs are still the most common way of giving studentslistening practice (they are cheaper and more portable)but they also focus their attention to spoken English,rather than on visual contact, gesture, surrounding events.
SO HOW SHOULD THE MATERIAL BE HANDLED?

-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
28/65
LEAD IN
We must be sure to give as clear a lead-in as possible,because the students expectations are vital here. If theyhave some idea of what is coming they are less likely toput a panic barrier between themselves and the CD player,or any other device.
It is vital, too, that they should be interestedin what they aregoing to hear since they are unlikely to be very successfulwithout the commitment that such interest will bring.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
29/65
The use of visual materialIt is often extremely useful to give students a visual settingfor the CD they are going to listen to, some pictorial back-up
that will create expectations and reassure the listeners.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion

Listening tasks
It is important that listening tasks should bedesigned to help students to listen
+ effectively traps
When students look at the tasks they have to complete beforelistening to an audio, they should be able to predict the content of
what they are going to hear at least in part.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
31/65
The equipment
Its important to know that devices and CD oraudio are in good condition before taking theminto class.
Nothing is more demoralizing than an audio orCD that cannot be understood because of poorquality.
Devices can become damaged or have faultyspeakers.

POST-LISTENING
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
34/65
There are certain goals that should be achieved beforestudents attempt to listen to any text. These aremotivation, contextualization, and preparation.
Motivation
It is enormously important that before listening studentsare motivated to listen, so you should try to select a textthat they will find interesting and then design tasks thatwill arouse your students' interest and curiosity.
Pre-listening
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
35/65
CONTEXTUALIZATION
When we listen in our everyday lives we hear languagewithin its natural environment and that environment givesus a huge amount of information about the linguisticcontent we are likely to hear. Listening to a tape recording
in a classroom is a very unnatural process. The text hasbeen taken from its original environment and we need todesign tasks that will help students to contextualize thelistening and access their existing knowledge andexpectations to help them understand the text.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
36/65
PREPARATION
To do the task we set students while they listen therecould be specific vocabulary or expressions thatstudents will need. It's vital that we cover this beforethey start to listen as we want the challenge within thelesson to be an act of listening not of understandingwhat they have to do.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
37/65
When we listen to something in our everyday lives we do sofor a reason. Students too need a reason to listen that willfocus their attention. For our students to really develop theirlistening skills they will need to listen a number of times -three or four usually works quite well - as I've found that thefirst time many students listen to a text they are nervous andhave to tune in to accents and the speed at which the peopleare speaking.
WHILE LISTENING
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
38/65
Ideally the listening tasks we design for them shouldguide them through the text and should be graded sothat the first listening task they do is quite easy and helpsthem to get a general understanding of the text.
Sometimes a single question at this stage will beenough, not putting the students under too muchpressure.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
39/65
The second task for the second time students listen
should demand a greater and more detailedunderstanding of the text. Make sure though that thetask doesn't demand too much of a response. Writinglong responses as they listen can be very demanding
and is a separate skill in itself, so keep the tasks tosingle words, ticking or some sort of graphicalresponse.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
40/65
The third listening task could just be a matter ofchecking their own answers from the second task orcould lead students towards some more subtleinterpretations of the text.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
41/65
Listening to a foreign language is a very intensiveand demanding activity and for this reason I think it'svery important that students should have 'breathing'or 'thinking' space between listenings. I usually getmy students to compare their answers between
listenings as this gives them the chance not only tohave a break from the listening, but also to checktheir understanding with a peer and so reconsiderbefore listening again.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
42/65
Post-listeningThere are two common forms that post-listening tasks cantake. These are reactions to the content of the text, andanalysis of the linguistic features used to express thecontent.Reaction to the textOf these two I find that tasks that focus students reaction
to the content are most important. Again this is somethingthat we naturally do in our everyday lives. Because welisten for a reason, there is generally a following reaction.This could be discussion as a response to what we've
heard - do they agree or disagree or even believe whatthey have heard? - Or it could be some kind of reuse ofthe information they have heard.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
43/65
Analysis of language
The second of these two post-listening task typesinvolves focusing students on linguistic features ofthe text. This is important in terms of developing theirknowledge of language, but less so in terms ofdeveloping students' listening skills. It could take theform of an analysis of verb forms from a script of thelistening text or vocabulary or collocation work. Thisis a good time to do form focused work as thestudents have already developed an understanding
of the text and so will find dealing with the forms thatexpress those meanings much easier.

Listening with video
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
45/65
Listening with video Videos have many disadvantages like the ones we mentioned of the CD,
but of course the major advantage is that students can (sometimes) see
people speaking and can have a visual context for what is being said.
Principles for using a video are very much the same as those for using CD,and there is a special need for teachers to set motivating and challenging
tasks.
Students, like all of us, see TVas a form of
relaxation, yet teachers are trying to use it as
a positive learning aid. The problem is not
insurmountable and TV has a long and respec-table history in first language education.

Silent viewing
One of the most common techniques with videomaterial is silent viewing. This acts as apowerful predictive exercise. The teacherplays the video tape with the sound turned off.
The students speculate about what thecharacters are saying. Only then do they watchthe video with sound to check whether theirpredictions are right.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
48/65
Freeze frame
The teacher might createexpectations by freezing a
frame on the screen. Thestudents can predict what the
characters will say.
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
49/65
Sound only
Video is used like a CD audio by covering the screen.Students listen only to the sound.
Their task can be to say where the conversation is takingplace and who the speakers are. Afterwards they watch theextract to see if they were right.

Jigsaw viewing
Half of the class watches without sound and the other halfhears it without a picture.
Then they can compare notes and build a complete pictureof what happened before watching the video with both

Listening to confirmexpectations
-
7/27/2019 Fourth Session Articulacion
52/65
Just as we can ask students to read to confirm expectations
so we can ask students to listen for the same reason.
The technique has the same advantages for listening as it hasfor reading. The students have then a definite purpose forlistening.
Ts elicits information from the students about what theyknew/didnt Know or werent sure concerning the topic.

1. The Resort was great with a beautiful sandy beach. Theproblem was that everything cost a fortune. Fantasticrestaurants, amazing excursions, windsurfing, diving, they hadeverything, but basically we did nothing at all because wecouldnt afford it. After two days, we had spent all our money,so we just ate sandwiches after that and watched everyone elseenjoying themselves.
2. I was dead by the end of it. Ive always wanted to go, so ldecided to really enjoy myself. We didnt do much during theday because we needed our sleep, but in the evening we saw amusical and then went dancing at a different place every night.
Awesome! I cantwait to get back.

3. Yes, fantastic. The hotel was an ugly high-rise building-theyhadnt even finished building it. It was absolutely filthy, andthere didntseem to be anyone working there. Oh yes, therewas a man at reception, but he was asleep most of the time. Itwas the perfect destination for your worst enemy.
4. When we got to the check-in they said there was a
short delay. Six hours later, we finally got on to anancient plane, and when we were airborne. I just closedmy eyes and hoped. When we arrived, we were too latefor the train and, in any case, they had lost our baggagesomewhere.

5. On the first day, we went down to the hotel restaurant andit was awful. They served us some kind of fish head in spicysauce. Ugh! So for the rest of the time we decided to go
downtown where there restaurants on every corner. Wefound some really amazing places and we couldnt wait fordinner time to arrive.
6. The funny thing is that although it was very cold, I actuallygot a little bit of sunburn. There had been a lot of snow justbefore we got there, so conditions were perfect. The resortwas really at its best. It is a shame it wasntlike that last year.

The students are going to see and listen the followingexplanation about how a machine or device works.After that the teacher can ask some questions aboutthe material they saw, or he/she can give to the Sssome written material, to answer the questions.
They can use the following links:Howstuffworks.com (then they go to the section video)
