Task 1 + 2 - Pre-listening (Mania for English)

The Genre (i.e. what kind of text are the students going to listen to?)

List three words you expect to hear in this tex.

The Speaker (i.e. what do the students know about the speaker?)
The Topic (i.e. what do the students need to know about the topic?)
show a list of AI generated questions and ask them to highlight those that are most likely in a five minute talk

Write why you are learning English? Is this different to (five years ago)?

The Purpose (i.e. why are they engaging in this listening?

ask, what listening skills do you expect to learn? Support by giving a list of listening skills, eg. 'guessing' focussing inferring opinion, gathering information...

to practice listening for opinion

The procedures for this part of the lesson is to give them a task while listening... not sure if this is meant to follow the GIST/DETAIL paradigm, but I like to ask students to summarise or write 1-3 sentences about what the speaker said.

I sometimes say 'You cannot just say 'they talked about x' topic'.

Bit of a loss to this one.
