Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:01:57 @SueAnnan Ready to go! Hi Sue and @angelos_bollas and everyone here #eltchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:02:17 I find listening lessons really boring- as do my students. What do you suggest #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:02:31 Hi Hada mou #ELTchat

angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:03:34 Most students find them boring, too - or they say 'why don't we do it at home' #ELTchat  https://t.co/VW8q4iuuSu
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:03:36 @SueAnnan After doing one of my LSAs on Listening I totally changed the way I approach it. I use authentic stuff and teach.not test #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:04:08 I used something authentic today- still boring #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:04:18 So, there is a tendency to test listening rather than teach it, right? #ELTchat  https://t.co/mCp0Nljs9t
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:04:29 And my students only needed the gist of the convo #ELTchat

angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:05:17 @SueAnnan So, is it a matter of subject/topics or a matter of tasks that made it boring? #ELTchat
manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:05:23 #ELTchat
NajafiMonireh 2016-05-04T18:05:29 #eltchat. Use of pictures or visuals on the target listening material can be helpful

Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:05:50 @SueAnnan I break it down and often take it Top Down all the way to utterances which leads on perfectly to speaking #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:05:55 we'd already done a quiz on the topic #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:06:01 @NajafiMonireh Do you mean as a pre-listening task? To make SS interested? #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:06:22 @SueAnnan Hmmm maybe the topic?!! ;) #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:06:44 @Hada_ELT @SueAnnan I do this too, sometimes but SS still find it a bit odd to be listening to one track very many times #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:06:45 No the topic was fab- got huge amounts of opinion etc #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:07:05 @angelos_bollas @SueAnnan What's the task? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:07:20 @SueAnnan Was it the actual task of listening? long track, perhaps? #ELTchat
emilytesol 2016-05-04T18:07:48 Can authentic listening materials be seen as more 'interesting' for students? What would be a good example? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:07:56 @Hada_ELT many, not one - general idea, specific info, focus on lang, etc. #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:07:56 listening for pro/anti statements. Listening was only 2.45 mins #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-05-04T18:08:03 The teacher can give Ss  Gap-fill Activity while listening to a clip #ELtchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:08:20 @SueAnnan suggested podcasts before - any other ideas? #ELTchat  https://t.co/78kOhpvxY7
thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:08:33 #eltchat Could type of listening material play a part in how interesting it is? eg. podcasts/songs/videos/radio show etc...
JACKxELT 2016-05-04T18:08:34 Is there a single course book out there with even half-decent listening resources? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:08:41 @SueAnnan So, why boring? #ELTchat Did you ask them?

SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:09:13 I was watching them. They switched off #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-05-04T18:09:39 Trs can use ESL listening apps in class  #ELtchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:09:42 @angelos_bollas Once they get the gist of the txt (audio) th task on the utterance may b draw horizontal line, top stress words 1/2 #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:09:53 No, the videos work on different senses methinks #ELTchat
thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:10:08 I've often encountered the problem that students find listening difficult - and that's why it is 'boring' #eltchat
bar_zie 2016-05-04T18:10:22 RT @angelos_bollas: would you say that videos are better for listening? #ELTchat  https://t.co/t50JHHcIc0

manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:10:25 Before the listening task I prepare my students to the track by giving them related vocabs and questions. #ELTchat

manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:10:56 The introductory task is as important as the listening task. #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:10:57 @JACKxELT Not that I know of... #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:10:57 @thebestticher True, but why is it 'difficult' to start with? #ELTchat

angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:11:39 @SueAnnan Hm - was there some kind of while-listening task? As in 'watch out for... this or that'? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:11:53 Some examples, please? #ELTchat  https://t.co/kOZxoCqZv1
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:11:55 I usually do a lesson on stress beforehand, so that students are better able to listen. #ELTchat
manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:12:16 @thebestticher introductory tasks makes them want to listen.. #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:12:20 @SueAnnan makes sense #ELTchat
DavinnaArtibey 2016-05-04T18:12:41 I used a sci fi trailer this week as a gap fil listening activity and teen Ss gave feedback that theyenjoyed it. #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:12:41 @thebestticher Fair point - we get this with exam classes, too #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:12:47 @angelos_bollas Yes. They had done an exercise on pro/anti statements beforehand and were listening for consolidation #ELTchat
NajafiMonireh 2016-05-04T18:13:03 #eltchat. I think videos are better for listening,  they are more interesting.
JACKxELT 2016-05-04T18:13:04 @angelos_bollas I’ve always considered myself lucky if I find one that doesn’t include an offensive attempt at a foreign accent #ELTchat
manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:13:04 @SueAnnan How?? #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:13:05 @JACKxELT This has loads of good listening activities. Go thru these and you should find a few https://t.co/7BqIwvs7tC #eltchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:13:34 @manal3abas How what? #ELTchat
TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:13:41 @SueAnnan Face to Face series labels pronunciation slots as "Help with Listening" #ELTchat

teachingright 2016-05-04T18:13:52 Awesome app #ELTchat  https://t.co/HTqj83Ugxc https://t.co/9wVnzWQM9u
emilytesol 2016-05-04T18:13:57 @angelos_bollas Videos are effective as non-verbal cues can aid understanding, however would this still be considered listening? #eltchat
manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:14:03 @angelos_bollas my first chat at #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:14:14 @DavinnaArtibey Content very important with teens #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:14:31 @emilytesol @angelos_bollas I don't think verbal cues constitutes real listening #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:14:32 @thebestticher One of the reasons may be that we often fail Ss by not teaching it but just testing #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:14:44 @SueAnnan sounds like a very interesting lesson to me, though #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:15:08 But I generally teach better listening skills at the beginning of any course :-) #ELTchat
manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:15:16 @SueAnnan How do you work on the student's stress?? #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:15:36 @thebestticher Ther are ways of teaching them to focus on stressed words and then use their own knowledge of the lang to connect it #ELTchat

thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:16:13 @manal3abas it's true, but wanting to listen doesn't get around them finding listening a difficult skill! #eltchat
TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:16:14 @NajafiMonireh Very true, unfortunately for our/most students it doesn't mimic exam, so they need "proper" listening practice #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:16:28 @emilytesol hm... not really, I guess #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:16:32 @manal3abas Sorry. I use Nursery rhymes or rap #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:16:38 @manal3abas @SueAnnan You can teach Ss to recognise stress words in sentences beforehand #ELTchat

thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:18:18 @Hada_ELT makes sense, but I think a lot of teachers don't - so then you inherit students who don't have good listening skills #eltchat

Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:19:31 @thebestticher Exaclty! The research I'd read pointed to that fact. Say limiting listening to x2 for eg. Why? They're practising! #ELTchat

manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:20:47 @thebestticher I believe it is also a matter of time the students get the ears used to listening English. #ELTchat beginings aren't easy.
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:21:15 @manal3abas @thebestticher If you teach it from the beginning, it helps #ELTchat

SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:22:02 @TeresaBestwick @NajafiMonireh practice is not sufficient, they need to have activity based listening #ELTchat

TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:28:33 How natural are the skills we expect compared to natural listening - e.g Cambridge complete the gaps when learners predict content? #ELTchat

Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:30:12 @ITLegge @SueAnnan When I think listening I think of podcasts, documentaries, news, recipe vids, the stuff my Ss like #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:30:15 @ITLegge like their own podcasts? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:30:36 @LauraSoracco Hey Laura - Welcome :) #ELTchat

SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:31:01 @ITLegge #ELTchat that is a very good idea. I ask SS to create their own audios/videos for listening & speaking activities.

Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:31:21 @LauraSoracco Lurk away and nudge an d like from time to time ;) Thanks for being here #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:31:28 @tesolmatthew Yes I very much agree #ELTchat
sigardit 2016-05-04T18:31:35 @SarhandiSuhail and I find that prediction can be done in any level #ELTchat It's just more or less sophisticated...
teachingright 2016-05-04T18:31:37 @SarhandiSuhail @angelos_bollas @TeresaBestwick @NajafiMonireh this depends on the Ss age group! #ELTchat

SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:32:29 #ELtchat using #Edpuzzle app is a great idea to assign ss videos for listening skills
thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:32:31 I often swap out the coursebook songs for something more up-to-date - particularly when teaching teens #ELTchat

manal3abas 2016-05-04T18:32:52 @angelos_bollas @SueAnnan what is a word cloud? #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:33:03 @thebestticher songs are good, but you have to be careful with some of the language #ELTchat
SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:33:11 @sigardit #ELTchat I agree but it is quite nerve wrecking for EFL teachers
tesolmatthew 2016-05-04T18:33:14 :) there's pron *slathered* on evrything like gravy in my class, hardly need 'pron stage' most of the time #ELTchat https://t.co/89Yv7iwtyf
TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:33:22 @thebestticher Absolutely! I think many books aimed at teens nowadays don't even bother including them! #ELTchat

SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:34:13 @sophie_cy #ELTchat creating their own audio video material is a high level of technology integration in the classroom also
sophie_cy 2016-05-04T18:34:14 @SarhandiSuhail @ITLegge another way is to give sts texts (e.g. songs, video excerpts) and ask them to create the listening task #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:34:17 @SueAnnan @tesolmatthew Same here and as a follow up to listening it works great. So top down to bottom up. #ELTchat
ITLegge 2016-05-04T18:34:30 @SueAnnan @thebestticher and the video! #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:34:57 @ITLegge @thebestticher Yes :-) #ELTchat
TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:35:00 @SueAnnan @thebestticher lyricstraining is popular with mine - but can be really tricky at times  #ELTchat
thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:35:04 @SueAnnan that's why I choose the song rather than letting them select their own - have fallen foul of that before! ;) #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:35:11 @sophie_cy @SarhandiSuhail @ITLegge Sounds more like a pronunciation/speaking work to me. less of listening, methinks #ELTchat
SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:35:24 @sophie_cy @ITLegge #ELTchat good idea. SS are much smarter than we think. Need to facilitate them only, they can do wonders
thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:35:34 @TeresaBestwick Aaah, to work for a school which uses up-to-date coursebooks... ;) #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:35:35 @TeresaBestwick WOuldn't that be considered exam class teaching? #ELTchat

TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:36:32 @thebestticher Ha ha - only a new change this year!  It was very much time!!! #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:36:48 @TeresaBestwick @thebestticher YouTube is good at showing lyrics sometimes too #ELTchat
SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:36:52 #ELtchat SS get disengaged or demotivated when they listen to something that has no immediate relevance in their lives.
teachingright 2016-05-04T18:37:00 Pre listening activities are important to prepare Ss to focus on the listening task #ELtchat
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:37:24 @SarhandiSuhail Yes, but unfortunately exams don't take account of this #ELTchat
TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:37:28 @Hada_ELT In our academy it's all based on exams...even if learners choose not to do one #ELTchat

Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:37:41 @SarhandiSuhail I agree with @sigardit If the lang and task are graded, pitched to Ss' level. Predicting is a skill they need #eltchat
sigardit 2016-05-04T18:37:44 @sophie_cy @SarhandiSuhail @ITLegge creation activities are the best to encourage meaningful teaching #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2016-05-04T18:37:44 @TeresaBestwick @Hada_ELT same here #ELTchat
TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:37:47 @Hada_ELT Sorry, from teens and up, YLs are less exam-focussed #ELTchat
SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:37:54 #ELtchat bringing their world in the classroom motivates them. They love to see and listen not just listen and see the windows n ceilings
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:38:09 @sandymillin Is this listening related? #ELTchat
sophie_cy 2016-05-04T18:38:15 engaging them in selecting their own song gives more autonomy though & personalises learning #ELTchat  https://t.co/1jMjOJxTKh
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:38:24 @TeresaBestwick Exams classes are quite particular I find. You're really playing the exam. #ELTchat
thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:38:24 @SueAnnan @TeresaBestwick Off topic but that can also be good for developing reading fluency - how I learnt to read Russian easily! #ELTchat
SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:38:32 @SueAnnan #ELTchat I agree Sue. We don't teach them listening for learning, v teach them to test.

Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:39:15 @TeresaBestwick @NajafiMonireh By 'proper' do you mean, they need exam type practice? #ELTchat
SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:39:33 #ELtchat very true. Why not create activities that involve our learners. Personalisation is important 4 this generation
SueAnnan 2016-05-04T18:39:44 @ITLegge @TeresaBestwick @thebestticher And the coursebook publishers pay peanuts, so don't get good singers  #ELTchat
TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:39:47 @Hada_ELT True, especially now many exams are more academic...how well do they prepare learners for real-world communication? #ELTchat

TeresaBestwick 2016-05-04T18:40:28 @Hada_ELT @NajafiMonireh No, I was thinking pure audio, as opposed to video which has visual clues #ELTchat
SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:40:31 @angelos_bollas #ELTchat my SS do it when they are in Intermediate or above levels. Beginners make audios
ITLegge 2016-05-04T18:40:38 Anyone tried a more #creative approach with listening? More open ended tasks? e.g. listen and write a note, draw the scene etc? #ELTchat
Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:40:44 @TeresaBestwick Not much I'd say. They prepare them for uni methinks #ELTchat
thebestticher 2016-05-04T18:40:52 @ITLegge @TeresaBestwick English in Mind has some truly horrific choices... I've had good experiences with Taylor Swift though. #ELTchat

sigardit 2016-05-04T18:41:26 Unfortunately, most of the listening activities teachers do  test Ss. I totally agree. We should rethink!!! #eltchat https://t.co/qBdZVLEwOr

Hada_ELT 2016-05-04T18:49:39 @SueAnnan Yes, but I think that too many Ts still fail to spend time on developing the skill hence so Ss are permanently tested #ELTchat

SarhandiSuhail 2016-05-04T18:59:40 @teachingright #ELTchat @teachingright choosing the clip is more important than the providing a gap filling activity
