Tops

• Positive class!: You said hi when you came in, you shared some personal stories! I truly appreciate that.

• You're willing to share your books with one another and you're willing to work together! (Not every group can do this, so you should not underestimate how rare this can be)

• If you don't understand a task or explanation you're not afraid to say you haven't understood something! This means that I can be helpful and useful to you.  Keep doing this! Tell me what you're struggling with and I will always help you!

Tips

• Almost all of my rules were broken in the first two lessons already: some forgot their books, a fair amount of you spoke while I was talking; it took too long for everyone to be quiet whenever I asked for your attention. I heard some of you cussing, and only a couple of you raised your hand when you had a question or wanted to say something, most of you just spoke your mind.
  
  
• You spoke and were discussing answers during a practice exam: Never ever do that again! You won't be allowed to speak at a practice exam in real time either. Get used to doing this on your own.
  
  
• Overall, you were simply too loud.

Most of you put your phones away when I asked you to!

CITO-Listening Exam

What do you need to know?

Phases of Listening

What do you need to know?

Pre-listening:

• What is the topic of the audio recording you're listening to? How do you know this?
  
  

• Read the first question before listening to the recording. What is the title of the recording? What does this tell you about the topic?

• What are your expectations?
  

Phases of Listening

What do you need to know?

During Listening

• ALWAYS read the question before the next part of the audio-recording. This way you'll be prepared and you'll know what to listen out for.
  
  

• Write down keywords from the question that you have to listen out for.

For example, here's a question about an audio-recording that discusses climate change:

1. Wat is een van grootste oorzaken van klimaatverandering?

What will you be focussing on? What do you expect to hear?

Focus on those words in the audio-recording that match words that appear in the question. In other words, focus on KEYWORDS

What do you need to know?

Post-listening

• After a practice exam you're allowed to ask the teacher questions.
  
• Were there things you didn't understand.
  
• Why was your answer incorrect?
  
• What types of problems did you run into while we were listening to the recording?
