Assignment: Teaching Listening

1. In Foreign language learning, vocabulary mastery is the most important aspect, so that
is why listening is almost neglected in the teaching and learning.
Agree or disagree?
Reasons:
I agree, because I think the first step in learning a foreign language is that we have to memorize
vocabulary first, by learning vocabulary we can speak a foreign language and can communicate
well. because even if you listen to a foreign language every day without knowing what it means
it doesn't mean anything.

2. There are so many listening activities you can apply in the teaching and learning
process. Read page 84-90 and choose one of them to apply in your class room. Prepare
a short material of the activities. Put it here.

EXAMPLE OF AN ORAL CLOZE ACTIVITY

there’s gum in my [hair]. And when I got out of [bed] this morning I tripped on the [skateboard]
and by mistake I dropped my [sweater] in the [sink] while the [water] was running and I could tell
it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very [bad] day.

My bath was too [hot]. I got soap in my [eyes], my marble went down the [drain], and I had to
wear my railroad-train [pajamas]. I hate my [railroad-train] pajamas.
