This task was hard! State if an activity is teaching, testing, or practicing listening

2d ago in Module Reflections & Questions

1. Students listen to audio text and answer comprehension/multiple choice questions-

testing

2. Students listen to a text and see if it matches a text they read

While there is a right or wrong answer, this feels more like practicing than testing. Depends on what is meant by 'matching'. Students might suggest topics that are plausibly connected but not expllicitly stated and get a sense of pleasing the teacher, especially if they say quite a bit!

3. Students listen to flight announcements to find the time of the one the one they want

Practice/test.

4. Students listen to a 30-minute lecture and take notes.

Practice (but could become testing if there is a handout they have to compare their notes against)

5. Students focus on the language that lecturers use to signal important information and give examples. Then, they give mini-lectures using them.

Practice on the part of those listening.
