7 TYPES OF ACTIVITIES FOR LISTENING WITH A PURPOSE

1. Listening for the Main Idea
The purpose of this type of listening is to train students to grasp the main points or general information presented in the
audio. Students often get stuck on a detail, a word or phrase they don’t understand and fail to see the bigger picture.
2. Listening for Detail
Here, the purpose is to train students to grasp specific information, details that are relevant, important or necessary.
3. Listening for a Sequence
Quite often, students receive instructions in English, information they will need to act on or orders they will need to
follow.

Listening activities offer great opportunities to teach new words or review vocabulary previously taught.

With a carefully selected listening activity, you also have the opportunity to teach students about a special holiday or
tradition that is popular with another culture.
6. Listening for Attitude and Opinions
Sometimes students have to listen for what someone is really saying, not what they’re literally saying, but what they
actually mean. Attitudes, opinions and feelings can all be conveyed in varying degrees from strong disagreement to mild
criticism.

give suggestions, give advice, etc.
