Listening

Het doel van de les van vandaag is het werken aan luisterstrategieën

We bespreken eerst handige tips. 

Daarna luisteren we naar een expert.

En oefenen we met leesvaardigheid.

Which listening strategy do you already use?

Welke tips geeft Leanne?

Tips die Leanne geeft:

- Oefening baart kunst

- Ga series of een film kijken. Iedere dag een paar minuten naar het nieuws kijken werkt ook. Of korte fragmenten in het Engels. 

- Schrijf woorden op die je denkt te horen of die je herkent. Je mag altijd aantekeningen maken op een kladblaadje. 

- Doe je ogen dicht

- Vul altijd iets in

Nog een paar tips:

-kom uitgerust naar de toets. Focus is heel belangrijk. Als je namelijk aan het dromen bent, dan hoor je niet wat er gezegd wordt. 

- Oefen andersom. Kijk eerst naar wat het antwoord is en ga dan gericht luisteren of je het antwoord hoort.
