Homework

Apply the following:1. There is a gap between receptive and

productive competence2. Fluency may have progressed at the

expense of complexity3. Learners have a limited vocabulary range4. Language production may be adequate but

often lacks the characteristics of natural speech

5. There are persistent, fossilized language errors

Listen and rank:

-Difficulty to understand: 1 to10-Reasons for finding it difficult:

- Speed- Vocabulary- Context- Unprepared

Page 8: Listening & speaking part 1

Now fill in these gaps:1- World War I, which began in 1914 and ended in 1918, is sometimes called …..2- In 1928, British women obtained the ………………… after a long battle.

Spoken Discourse

INTERESITNG FACTS:

•Instantaneous•Unplanned •Linear (one clause at a time)•Fast (Radio monologues about 160 w/m, General conversation up to 220 w/m)

The Theory of Listening

Listening for comprehension

Listening for acquisition

Page 11: Listening & speaking part 1

a- Listening for comprehension

Page 12: Listening & speaking part 1

Understanding spoken discourse

The guy I sat next to on the bus this morning on the way to work was telling me he runs a Thai restaurant in Chinatown. Apparently, it’s very popular at the moment.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS UTTERANCE?

Page 13: Listening & speaking part 1

Bottom-up Processing

HOW ABOUT CHUNKING IT?

I was on the bus There was a guy next to me We talked He said he runs a Thai restaurant It’s in Chinatown It’s very popular

Page 14: Listening & speaking part 1

BOTTOM-UP

from LANGUAGE to

MEANING

a process of DECODING

listening for DETAIL

Page 15: Listening & speaking part 1

To teach Bottom-up Processing we need to help the learner …

•Retain input while it is being processed•Recognise word and clause divisions•Recognise key words•Recognise key transitions in discourse•Recognise grammatical relationships between key elements in sentences•Use stress and intonation to identify word and sentence functions

Page 16: Listening & speaking part 1

Examples of classroom activities: Dictation

Cloze listening Multiple choice

questionsWhere learners need to:

- identify the referents of pronouns- recognise the time reference- distinguish between positive and negative statements- recognise word order- identify sequence markers- identify key words

Page 17: Listening & speaking part 1

How would you respond to the following?

I heard on the news there was a big earthquake in China last night.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

Page 18: Listening & speaking part 1

Top-down Processing

On recognising EARTHQUAKE, maybe,

you would ask:

Where exactly was the earthquake? How big was it? Did it cause a lot of damage? Were many people killed or injured? What rescue efforts are under way?

Page 19: Listening & speaking part 1

If someone says:

“I’m going to the dentist this afternoon”

…what does it evoke?:

Page 20: Listening & speaking part 1

Think about these:

• a place• people• a reason• procedure

s• a result

Page 21: Listening & speaking part 1

What does this mean:“Good luck”?

When somebody is going to: the dentist the Casino a job interview

Is it the same? ;-)

Page 22: Listening & speaking part 1

TOP-DOW

N

from MEANING to

LANGUAGE

Focus on background

knowledge: SCHEMATA

listening for GIST

Page 23: Listening & speaking part 1

To teach Top-down Processing we need to help the learner …

•Use key words to construct the schema of a discourse•Infer the setting•Infer the role of the participants and their goals•Infer causes or effects•Infer unstated details •Anticipate questions related to the topic or the situation

Page 24: Listening & speaking part 1

Examples of classroom activities:Once students are told the topic: They generate question and listen to see if

they are answered They make a list of the things they know

about the topic and listen to compare They read one speaker’s part and predict the

other They read a list of key points covered in the

story and listen to check which one is mentioned

They listen to part of the story and complete the ending

They read the headlines, guess, listen and compare

Page 25: Listening & speaking part 1

TOP-DOWN+

BOTTOM-UP= REAL WORLD

Page 26: Listening & speaking part 1

Now you listen and decide if you are required to use BU or TD processing to complete the tasks.

Has the level of difficulty changed? If so how, can you rank the activities in order of difficulty.

Page 27: Listening & speaking part 1

b- Listening for acquisition(Handout – discuss)

Page 28: Listening & speaking part 1

Noticing AGAIN! Can you think of activities to focus on ACQUISITION (use the tapescripts to so do).

Read the text on pages 166 & 167 for next class, and bring materials/ ideas about the topic of respect and discrimination.
