Listening Strategies

1. Broad listening: you listen in order to understand the main idea of the text.
   
2. Specific listening: you want to find out specific details, for example key words.
   
3. Detailed listening: you want to understand all the information the text provides.
   

Prepare Yourself!

Take out your personal goals & have a look at what you wrote down. What could you do to prepare for the listening test? 

Discuss with your neighbour (2 min). 

I'll ask some of you to share your ideas.

How to Prepare on the Spot?

Think about the topic of the text you are going to listen to. 

• What do you know about the topic?
  
• Which words come to mind that you already know?
• What type of topic is it?

From Watson to Shelock

Goals for today:

• Final choice fragment
• Make a first few questions for your listening test

Note: I want each group to be able to think of 5 questions on each level. Not all of these will be used in the end, of course!

Wrap-up

Your group has:

1. Chosen a fragment!
2. Come up with your first few (possible) questions
