      listening lesson plan or procedure

      Hi every body

      What are the procedures of teaching listening lesson or listening lecture?

      I'm doing research on listening comprehension and I need alot of details about the procedures of a listening lesson plan.

      Here are two of the typical staging patterns I use, depending on whether I want to focus on skills or language.  (FYI. I highly value the 'Engage & Prepare' step!!!)

       

      To practise listening skills.

      1. Lead in.     [General chat around topic].
      2. Pre-teach.   [Clarify any lexis they really need to understand the audio].
      3. Engage & Prepare.     [Introduce: characters, location, genre, etc].
      4. Gist Listening.   [Ss do a task that involves light listening to get a rough idea of what it's about].
      5. Skills Focus.  [Ss do tasks to practise different types of listening skills relevant to the text].
        • Listening for Specific Information (picking out key words - names, dates, numbers, etc)
        • Listening for Detailed Comprehension (getting a really in depth understanding of what it's about)
        • Listening and Note-Taking (practising note-taking skills for listening to lectures/presentations)
        • Listening to Instructions or Directions (listening carefully to follow a particular route on a map, etc)
        • Listening for Attitude (listening for sarcasm, disbelief, trust, trying to build someone's confidence)
        • etc... etc...
      6. Personalistation.  [A chance to relate the audio to their own lives or language use, or to respond to the audio, through personalised or creative speaking or writing tasks].

       

      To focus on lexis, grammar, functions or pronunciation using a listening text.

      1. Lead in.     [General chat around topic].
      2. Engage & Prepare.     [Introduce some of: characters, main sub-topic(s), location, genre, situation, etc].
      3. Gist Listening.   [Ss do a task that involves very light listening to get a very rough idea of what it's about].
      4. Detailed Listening.  [Ss get more familiar with the text by doing a second, more detailed, listening task].
      5. Language Focus.  [Ss do one or more tasks to focus on different language points].
        • Lexis (guessing words or phrases using the context)
        • Grammar (doing discovery tasks to better understand the use of a grammar point in context)
        • Functions (as with either of the above)
        • Pronunciation (listening for specific aspects of connected speech, intonation, etc)
      6. Practice.  [A chance to practise using the language they just focused on in speaking or writing tasks].
