listening

you can listen to spoken English in different situations:

- announcements and instructions

- TV, video- and audiorecordings

- in a live audience

- in conversations

mention some situations you may encounter

how do you make sure you will understand what is said?

before you start listening

- what do you know about the subject?

- can you prepare for what you're going to listen to?

- decide what you want to learn 

from what you're going to listen to

what do you want to know?

- is it something you would want to listen to?

- do you just want to get the big picture?

- are you looking for an answer to a certain question?

-do you want to know everything?

Most of the time it's a combination of these questions

is it something you want to listen to?

- what is it about?

- what is said about it?

- what's in it for me/how do I benefit from it? 

I want to get the big picture

- what are the main issues that are mentioned?

- how are they connected?

looking for an answer

- what is being said about my question

this one is mostly used during tests and exams

want to know everything

- what details do I have to understand?

important: before you start

- what am I going to listen to?

(news, interview, commercial, presention)

- what is the subject and what do I already know about it?

(what kind of words and phrases can I expect)

listening during tests and exams

- read the question and the answers before you start listening

- listen to the whole piece

Reading

like listening:

- what will you be reading?

- what do you want to learn from it?

What kind of texts are you reading and what do you want to learn from them?

the writer

when you're reading a text, someone has written it.

and when you write a text, you have a purpose.

the same when you read  text 

(what is your purpose by reading this text) 

purposes

1. give general information

2. give specific information that's important for someone

3. give an opinion

4. have the reader do something

5. convince the reader

the reader

why do you read?

what do you want to learn from it?

what is in it for you?

before you start reading

what kind of text will you be reading?

what do you already know about the subject?

what do you want to learn from it?

-> the answer tells you how to read

different ways to read

- is it something for you?

- do you want the big picture?

- are you looking for an answer?

- do you want to know all the details?

predicting

- what is the text about, look at pictures and headings

- what kind of text is it?

- what is in it for me?

skimming

- to get the big picture

- what are the main items?

- how are they related?

- read the first and last paragraph

- read the first and last line of the other paragraphs

scanning

- look for an answer to your question

- scan the text for specific information

(date of birth: scan for months (August) or years (1971) in the text)

intensive reading

- you want to know the details, the arguments, the connections

critical reading

- what are the facts or the opinions?

- are they valid?

- do you agree or what is your opinion?

context

- you won't understand every word in a text

- can you understand the word from its context

- you don't have to understand every word to understand the text

(using a dictionary takes a lot of time)

strategies

- most of the time you will use more than 1
