ljp2010 21:02 #eltchat  for me active listening always involves a pen in hand...
Marisa_C 21:02 Is the friend who posted the topic taking part in this chat? #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:02 @Shaunwilden What do we mean by active listening? #ELTChat
TyKendall 21:02 #ELTChat yeah active listening, can we start by defining it?
mscro1 21:02 HI all #ELTchat
AudreyLash 21:02 RT @cybraryman1: Wed Chats Part I: #ELTchat (2) #ClavEd #ntchat #ptchat #2ndchat #3rdchat #libchat #psychat #yalitchat : http://tinyurl.com/3uwsgyk
TyKendall 21:03 #ELTChat oops tweetdeck playing up on me
Shaunwilden 21:03 @Marisa_C Spot the delta tutors :-) #ELTChat
Marisa_C 21:03 @Shaunwilden great minds...  #ELTChat
ShellTerrell 21:03 I think many teachers may not understand active listening. How do you define active listening? #eltchat
Fuertesun 21:03 @Shaunwilden boyfriends passie listen do they? #ELTChat
Marisa_C 21:03 Can listening be passive? Some people call it a passive skill - do you agree? #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:03 Isnt all listening active anyway just that people think it is a passive skill? #ELTChat
DinaDobrou 21:04 @Fuertesun Or...receptive skills and productive skills...#ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:04 #ELTchat wikipedias def Active listening is a communication technique that requires the listener to understan… (cont) http://deck.ly/~Rsvbb
TyKendall 21:04 #ELTChat what is active listening people im lost?
vickyloras 21:04 @Marisa_C He he #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:04 Reading and Listening supposedly passive and speaking and writing active right? #ELTChat
Marisa_C 21:04 @Shaunwilden indeed :-)  #ELTChat
vickyloras 21:05 RT @Shaunwilden: #ELTchat wikipedias def Active listening is a communication technique that requires the listener to understan… (cont) http://deck.ly/~Rsvbb
ShellTerrell 21:05 RT @Shaunwilden: #ELTchat wikipedias def Active listening is a communication technique that requires the listener to understan… (cont) http://deck.ly/~Rsvbb
Fuertesun 21:05 @Marisa_C yes better def #ELTChat
ShellTerrell 21:05 RT @brad5patterson: #ELTchat cldnt make it tonight, but wanted to share this inSPIRing TED video on "5 ways 2 listen better" :  http://ow.ly/5ZE5d
katekidney 21:05 #ELTchat When I imagine my 15-year son and some of my own parent's lectures - that may be the example of listening - a passive skill! :o)))
eannegrenoble 21:05 #ELTChat - hello people :-) , receptive skill, Yes .... if the listening is active
Marisa_C 21:05 @Fuertesun Supposedly yes - safer to call them receptive &productive skills - not passive at all!!!! Processing frenetically ACTIVE #ELTChat
mscro1 21:05 Active listening- understand, and interpert what you hear #ELTchat
Moacir2 21:05 RT @brad5patterson: #ELTchat cldnt make it tonight, but wanted to share this inSPIRing TED video on "5 ways 2 listen better" :  http://ow.ly/5ZE5d
Fuertesun 21:05 @DinaDobrou right #ELTchat

Fuertesun 21:06 @Shaunwilden Can you teach listening? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:06 I guess person who asked the Q may have meant 'listening attentively' or alternatively "motivated listening'  can we agree on this? #ELTchat
ghewgley 21:06 Active listening involves processing what you are hearing. Passive is just in one ear, out the other. #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:06 I often wonder how much we really teach listening in the classroom  #ELTchat
ljp2010 21:06 #eltchat  i often think about active listening and reading as doing a task, that idea of intention in the talk i guess
vickyloras 21:06 RT @brad5patterson: #ELTchat cldnt make it tonight, but wanted to share this inSPIRing TED video on "5 ways 2 listen better" :  http://ow.ly/5ZE5d
katekidney 21:07 #ELTchat...and what else is a language study about?
ShellTerrell 21:07 RT @ghewgley: Active listening involves processing what you are hearing. Passive is just in one ear, out the other. #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:07 @Raquel_EFL Hi Raquel it's your topic so what did you mean by active listening?  #ELTchat
MagicinEdu 21:07 RT @Marisa_C: Can listening be passive? Some people call it a passive skill - do you agree? #ELTchat
ShellTerrell 21:07 RT @katekidney: #ELTchat, but students need to make it very active to get through it! Without effective listening there is no communication and
TyKendall 21:07 #ELTChat ahhh ok i think im getting it
vickyloras 21:07 You can take a listening task and weave it into a hundred others - that´s what I´d call active listening #ELTchat
ljp2010 21:07 #eltchat  without being judgemental.  now there's the tricky part!
ShellTerrell 21:07 RT @cgoodey: #ELTchat Active listening encourages you to focus on what's being said, to understand not only what's being said, w/out being judgemental.
Marisa_C 21:07 @TyKendall  ochi :-)  no ! #ELTChat
Shaunwilden 21:07 @Fuertesun I think so but  i think the standard cbk listening lesson doesnt  #ELTchat
cgoodey 21:07 #ELTchat Active listening encourages you to focus on what's being said, to understand not only what's being said, w/out being judgemental.
katekidney 21:07 #ELTchat, but students need to make it very active to get through it! Without effective listening there is no communication and
vickyloras 21:07 RT @ghewgley: Active listening involves processing what you are hearing. Passive is just in one ear, out the other. #ELTchat
TyKendall 21:07 #ELTChat is the distinction comparable to intensive/extensive?
MagicinEdu 21:07 RT @Marisa_C: @Fuertesun Supposedly yes - safer to call them receptive &productive skills - not passive at all!!!! Processing frenetically ACTIVE #ELTChat
DinaDobrou 21:07 RT @ljp2010: #eltchat  for me active listening always involves a pen in hand...<<Agree with that. A 1st step to making listening active.
eannegrenoble 21:08 @cgoodey  #ELTchat for EFL listening, it seems to me the "expectations" are an the most important thing in listening  (however defined
Shaunwilden 21:08 @Fuertesun Yes but also really working with the how things are said, highlighting pronunciations etc  #ELTchat
Joyfully2 21:08 RT @brad5patterson: #ELTchat cldnt make it tonight, but wanted to share this inSPIRing TED video on "5 ways 2 listen better" :  http://ow.ly/5ZE5d
Marisa_C 21:08 @vickyloras  OK so you are including "integrating with other activities' into our definition?  #ELTchat
ShellTerrell 21:08 RT @Shaunwilden: I often wonder how much we really teach listening in the classroom  #ELTchat
vickyloras 21:08 RT @cgoodey: #ELTchat Active listening encourages you to focus on what's being said, to understand not only what's being said, w/out being judgemental.
ShellTerrell 21:08 RT @DinaDobrou: RT @ljp2010: #eltchat  for me active listening always involves a pen in hand...<<Agree with that. A 1st step to making listening active.
Fuertesun 21:08 @Shaunwilden How do you teach/promote active listening? choosing things of interest 2 your ss #ELTchat
TyKendall 21:09 #ELTChat i would like to think all listening in my class is active :-) dont like the "in one ear out the other" alternative
MagicinEdu 21:09 #eltchat hello everyone! Great topic!
mscro1 21:09 RT @vickyloras: You can take a listening task and weave it into a hundred others - that´s what I´d call active listening #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:09 @Shaunwilden I love live listening using the teacher¡s' or ss voices this is actice #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:09 @Fuertesun I just think the average listen, do exercise that teachers often do in the classroom is more akin to a test  #ELTchat
vickyloras 21:09 @Marisa_C I´d say yes,but with listening as the starting and focal point #ELTchat
cybraryman1 21:09 My Listening page: http://tinyurl.com/4jqso3k  #ELTchat
cgoodey 21:09 #ELTchat Are we talking about active listening for teachers or learners?
juanalejandro26 21:09 #ELTChat chatting here is like an active reading. what if it were on skype, for instance? would it be active listening?
DanceOutYourEng 21:09 #ELTchat Its so important to teach listening. I think so many people my own age have forgotten even how to listen to themselves!
DinaDobrou 21:09 @vickyloras Exactly! And involve the "communication" element in those tasks to make it meaningful. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:09 RT @eannegrenoble: @cgoodey  #ELTchat for EFL listening, it seems to me the "expectations" are an the most important thing in listening
ghewgley 21:09 You want your students to be active listeners, making connections and thinking about what is being said. #ELTchat
mscro1 21:10 @vickyloras yes good Idea, actually I mostly combine other skills with listening!#ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:10 @Shaunwilden Yes it's somewhat stale and forced I suppose and unreal #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:10 @eannegrenoble  #ELTchat You just mentioned a key point - 'developing expectations' 'predicting'  building  curiosity as crucial
ShellTerrell 21:10 My feeling is most teachers assume their Ss are actively listening RT @Shaunwilden: wonder how much we teach listening in class #ELTchat
chrisemdin 21:10 The only way to assess active listening is in the response. The process of listening looks different for each learner #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:11 In most classes that I see with a picture & some topic focused Qs not much interest #ELTchat - build personal interest & curiosity before
eannegrenoble 21:11 @Marisa_C Expectations define what we hear always - on n'entend que ce  que l'on attend > you only hear what you're expecting #ELTchat
juanalejandro26 21:11 what about: active listening is when we want Ss to get everything what is being said orally? #ELTChat
Fuertesun 21:11 Listening is the hard one 4 many SS #ELTchat
TyKendall 21:11 #ELTChat well my tweetdeck is not my friend tonight
chrisajuk 21:11 RT @brad5patterson: #ELTchat cldnt make it tonight, but wanted to share this inSPIRing TED video on "5 ways 2 listen better" :  http://ow.ly/5ZE5d
ShellTerrell 21:11 RT @juanalejandro26: #ELTChat chatting here is like an active reading. what if it were on skype, for instance? would it be active listening?
Shaunwilden 21:11 @ShellTerrell Yes good point and often for sts it is the most scary of tasks  #ELTchat
mscro1 21:11 It's hard to follow without my tweetdeck #ELTchat, ):
ShellTerrell 21:11 I've had to teach my students notetaking skills #ELTchat
ghewgley 21:12 Active listening can be helped by activating prior knowledge, previewing, scaffolding, etc. #ELTchat
daShcoaching 21:12 @ShellTerrell #eltchat what's said, felt, not said - the words, body lang, mood music, values
ShellTerrell 21:12 RT @Inga_Ros: I teach active listening with help of reading circles,q´s and a´s after. They tend to listen a lot more to peers #eltchat
Marisa_C 21:12 @eannegrenoble Exactly - hence - activate dialogue between listener and what is to be listened to  #ELTchat
mscro1 21:12 @ShellTerrell yes, that is difficult esp. for non-native speakers, we teach listening a lot in class #ELTchat at PET and FCE level
DinaDobrou 21:12 RT @ShellTerrell: I've had to teach my students notetaking skills #ELTchat < This qualifies for a life skill AND Invaluable for uni studies.
Shaunwilden 21:12 @mscro1 If you on follwing online it might help  to use tweetgrid  #ELTchat
ShellTerrell 21:13 Agree! RT @DinaDobrou: RT @ShellTerrell: I've had to teach notetaking skills #ELTchat This qualifies 4 a life skill, Invaluable 4 uni study
vickyloras 21:13 RT @DinaDobrou: RT @ShellTerrell: I've had to teach my students notetaking skills #ELTchat < This qualifies for a life skill AND Invaluable for uni studies.
eannegrenoble 21:13 RT @DinaDobrou: RT @ShellTerrell: I've had to teach my students notetaking skills #ELTchat <  I am AMAzed I have to teach my Uni students 2
mcneilmahon 21:13 Hi all  #eltchat ters - late again + have to leave early, but popping in better than nothing, right? Does Active = thinking while u listen?
vickyloras 21:13 RT @Marisa_C: RT @ghewgley: Active listening can be helped by activating prior knowledge, previewing, scaffolding, etc. #ELTchat > yes gd pts
Fuertesun 21:13 @Raquel_EFL  so active listening meaning showing interst in the speaker?? #ELTchat
cgoodey 21:13 @sueleather #ELTchat Yes, I would see it as an important skill for teachers.
Marisa_C 21:13 RT @ghewgley: Active listening can be helped by activating prior knowledge, previewing, scaffolding, etc. #ELTchat > yes gd pts
mscro1 21:13 @Shaunwilden thx will try #ELTchat
mcneilmahon 21:14 RT @Shaunwilden: @mcneilmahon evening neil  #ELTchat > Hiya! How's it going? Lots of activity ideas yet?
vickyloras 21:14 @mscro1 That is super - in my opinion helps a lot Marijana #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:14 But pen and paper in hand not only ways of listening actively - smtms good to use physical tasks esp for younger learners #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:14 @mcneilmahon  Hi we are trying to get a handle on the ACTIVE part at the moment #eltchat
juanalejandro26 21:14 @mcneilmahon I'd say listening without translating; understanding every word... #ELTChat
ShellTerrell 21:14 Agree! RT @mscro1: that is difficult esp. for non-native speakers, we teach listening a lot in class #ELTchat at PET and FCE level
Shaunwilden 21:14 @mcneilmahon evening neil  #ELTchat
vickyloras 21:14 @DinaDobrou Thank you : ) #ELTchat
eannegrenoble 21:15 RT @Raquel_EFL:  Are we, teachers, Active Listeners??  Do we reflect  about what is being said and ask  follow-up questions ? #ELTchat
DinaDobrou 21:15 We're thinking about listening as a task? What about sts listening to their classmates? They often think of it as switch off time. #ELTchat
mcneilmahon 21:15 RT @Shaunwilden: @Marisa_C agreed, cos we dont do that much listening in life with p&p in hand :-) #ELTchat > but phone yes!
vickyloras 21:15 @Raquel_EFL Super points raised there, Raquel! #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:15 @mcneilmahon not yet more at the negotiating what we mean stage :-) #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:15 @Shaunwilden n@Shaunwilden  #ELTchatote taking , phone calls etc #ELTchat
padgets 21:15 RT @cybraryman1: My Listening page: http://tinyurl.com/4jqso3k  #ELTchat
vickyloras 21:15 RT @Raquel_EFL: @Shaunwilden ... responding to the speaker in a way that will both encourage him or her to continue speaking...  #ELTchat
TyKendall 21:15 #ELTChat listening without translating, i like that
vickyloras 21:15 RT @Raquel_EFL: @Shaunwilden  I see Active Listening as the skill of listening and caring.... making the  communication meaningful ... #ELTchat
esolcourses 21:15 RT @cgoodey: #ELTchat Active listening encourages you to focus on what's being said, to understand not only what's being said, w/out being judgemental.
Fuertesun 21:15 @Marisa_C Listen and draw activities work well with YLs #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:15 @Marisa_C agreed, cos we dont do that much listening in life with p&p in hand :-) #ELTchat
beyondtech1 21:15 Happens behind the scenes - must learn to tease out, summarize, analyze and respond. Holding that in memory is difficult.  #ELTchat
juanalejandro26 21:16 THIS! >> RT @12mandown: Active listening includes making inferences and educated guesses #ELTchat
mrsalander 21:16 RT @brad5patterson: #ELTchat cldnt make it tonight, but wanted to share this inSPIRing TED video on "5 ways 2 listen better" :  http://ow.ly/5ZE5d

ghewgley 21:16 Modeling active listening is always helpful. Tell the student what you are doing/thinking while you are listening. #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:16 RT @cgoodey: #ELTchat Active listening, as I understand it, involves listening, checking, pararaphrasing, observing body language etc OKAY
ShellTerrell 21:16 @eannegrenoble the problem is most curriculums don't cover notetaking. In US used 2 b optional class. Most schools don't offer now #eltchat
12mandown 21:16 Active listening includes making inferences and educated guesses #ELTchat
DinaDobrou 21:16 RT @cgoodey: #ELTchat Active listening, as I understand it, involves listening, checking, pararaphrasing, observing body language etc

cgoodey 21:16 #ELTchat Active listening, as I understand it, involves listening, checking, pararaphrasing, observing body language etc
Marisa_C 21:16 we all agree on the importance of a strong pre-listening phase to stimulate interest, curiosity & motivate attentive Listening #ELTchat
mscro1 21:16 #ELTchat good point on interest of the speaker, sts love to listen and talk about what they are familiar with
hoprea 21:17 Active listening involves engagement. It's paramount that teachers come up with meaningful tasks that require interaction. #ELTChat
Shaunwilden 21:17 one reason it's hard to define is that we do it so subconsciously in our l1s #ELTchat
MBouchard01 21:17 Active listening is a two way process. I like to use think pair share to encourage active listening.  #ELTchat
MagicinEdu 21:17 #eltchat a listening  that is close to learner's interest and promotes communication such a topic for teens can be a favorite song or comedy
vickyloras 21:17 RT @ghewgley: Modeling active listening is always helpful. Tell the student what you are doing/thinking while you are listening. #ELTchat
tarabenwell 21:17 @eannegrenoble @Raquel_EFL Good point. And pay attention to what the st is saying instead of thinking about our next task or Q #ELTChat
ShellTerrell 21:17 RT @janetstage: we had kids use sticky notes whenever we read to record connections and thoughts for later discussion worked well! #eltchat
Marisa_C 21:17 @ghewgley you mean using 'think aloud' techniques? Nice idea  #ELTchat
MBouchard01 21:18 @Marisa_C Great idea. Activity increases brain productivity. #eltchat
MagicinEdu 21:18 RT @Marisa_C: we all agree on the importance of a strong pre-listening phase to stimulate interest, curiosity & motivate attentive Listening #ELTchat
mcneilmahon 21:18 @hoprea  #ELTChat Yes and we need to develop it in other stages of lesson, such as give tasks for feedback so SS listen to each other
ghewgley 21:18 @Marisa_C That's one name for it. Modeling is so important. We often assume students know/understand how to do something. #ELTchat
katekidney 21:18 #ELTchat Maybe a follow up exercise after the listening helps to the effectivenes of the listening, too? (motivation)
ShellTerrell 21:18 Agree! Do teachers allow enough time for this? RT @12mandown: Active listening includes making inferences and educated guesses #ELTchat
juanalejandro26 21:18 RT @hoprea: Active listening involves engagement. It's paramount that teachers come up with meaningful tasks that require interaction. #ELTChat
esolcourses 21:18 RT @MBouchard01: Active listening is a two way process. I like to use think pair share to encourage active listening.  #ELTchat
beyondtech1 21:18 learning how to ask questions to deepen understanding.  #ELTchat
eannegrenoble 21:19 RT @Shaunwilden: one reason it's hard to define is that we do it so subconsciously in our l1s #ELTchat >> but worth a rethink no?
mcneilmahon 21:19 RT @beyondtech1: learning how to ask questions to deepen understanding.  #ELTchat > Yes, criticise what you hear and develop it further
beyondtech1 21:19 Is active listening a part of your mandated curriculum as it is ours? #eltchat
Marisa_C 21:19 It's also important to increase listening time in our lessons - in TED talk truth mentioned - we listen 60% of our waking lives #ELTchat
MagicinEdu 21:19 RT @DinaDobrou: We're thinking about listening as a task? What about sts listening to their classmates? They often think of it as switch off time. #ELTchat
ljp2010 21:19 #eltchat i like the idea of physical tasks.  clapping, standing up, raising hands... is the adult equivalent of this making polite noises?
esolcourses 21:19 RT @hoprea: Active listening involves engagement. It's paramount that teachers come up with meaningful tasks that require interaction. #ELTChat
lu_bodeman 21:19 RT @ShellTerrell: I've had to teach my students notetaking skills #ELTchat
ShellTerrell 21:20 Students need opportunities to reflect/ respond to what the listening. What ways can we deduce understanding either than tests?  #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:20 @ljp2010 standing up is great  :-) #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:20 @eannegrenoble Oh totally, I used to obsess over it :-) love listening lessons ;-)   #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:20 . But too little tine spent on listening in class opportunities throughout lesson e.g. feedback to oral actis or info sharing etc #ELTchat
sueleather 21:20 @Shaunwilden If we do it subconscioulsy in L1s, do we need to teach it in L2? AL is a life skill-term from counselling/therapy. #ELTCHAT
Fuertesun 21:20 RT @DanceOutYourEng: #ELTchat If we listen to our sts  and present them with material they are interested in it will help motivate them to listen and be engaged

12mandown 21:21 #eltchat Active listening is purposeful, but whose purpose?
DinaDobrou 21:21 RT @tarabenwell: Encourage sts to actively listen to peer responses and presentations, not just Ttalk. Ask them to paraphrase. #ELTChat> YES
ShellTerrell 21:21 RT @Marisa_C: It's also important to increase listening time in our lessons - in TED talk truth mentioned - we listen 60% of our waking lives #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:21 RT @tarabenwell: Encourage sts to actively listen to peer responses and presentations, not just Ttalk. Ask them to paraphrase. #ELTChat
katekidney 21:21 #ELTchat But students practice listening also by listening to each other, the teacher...
Marisa_C 21:21 @ShellTerrell Important to connect info/ideas from listening ot meaningful & motivating follow up tasks  #ELTchat
ShellTerrell 21:21 Gr8 ideas! RT @ljp2010: #eltchat i like the idea of physical tasks.  clapping, standing up, raising hands...
esolcourses 21:21 RT @Shaunwilden: @sueleather I think we need to highlight key things to help sts build confidence #ELTchat ] agree
tarabenwell 21:21 Encourage sts to actively listen to peer responses and presentations, not just Ttalk. Ask them to paraphrase. #ELTChat

Fuertesun 21:22 RT @ghewgley: Paraphrasing can be an effective way to make sure students understand what was said. #ELTchat YES
Shaunwilden 21:22 @ljp2010 Whichr eminds me of @kenwilsonlondon and his recent workshop http://bit.ly/o74GZD #ELTchat
ghewgley 21:22 Paraphrasing can be an effective way to make sure students understand what was said. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:22 RT @12mandown: #eltchat Active listening is purposeful, but whose purpose? > the students; try to get them to be curious themselves
tarabenwell 21:22 RT @cgoodey: @Shaunwilden We don't necessarily listen actively in our L1. Too busy with our own concerns, priorities, assumptions. #ELTchat
Fuertesun 21:22 @cgoodey good point about L1 listening #ELTchat
juanalejandro26 21:22 both teachers and students :D RT @12mandown: #eltchat Active listening is purposeful, but whose purpose?

mcneilmahon 21:22 @ShellTerrell  #ELTchat We can ask them to repeat back to speaker 'so what you're saying is...' 'do you mean...' so they show understanding
MBouchard01 21:22 RT @ShellTerrell: Gr8 ideas! RT @ljp2010: #eltchat i like the idea of physical tasks.  clapping, standing up, raising hands...
mscro1 21:22 meaningful tasks r very important, but not just 1 as ,multiple or T/F but more like @shellyterrell says notetaking and similar "#ELTchat

DinaDobrou 21:46 RT @Marisa_C: @ghewgley And "Picture Dictation" is a great activity too! similar  #ELTchat
ShellTerrell 21:46 RT @Fuertesun: @Marisa_C Yes I remember jigsaw listening with tape recorders... #ELTchat
mcneilmahon 21:47 #ELTCHAT Should we let students talk during listening exercises? Would it encourage more active listening?
mscro1 21:47 RT @ShellTerrell: Yes! RT @esolcourses: I think speaking and listening go hand in hand though in many ways. Complementary skills  #ELTchat
Janshs 21:47 @Marisa_C @ghewgley how much use made of learning journals? #ELTchat I use a lot in Maths class: Ss use 4 key ideas, use pics, colours etc
hartle 21:47 RT @ShellTerrell: Yes! RT @esolcourses: I think speaking and listening go hand in hand though in many ways. Complementary skills  #ELTchat
tarabenwell 21:47 @Marisa_C @ghewgley Great idea. Some people are more inclined to draw than note take. Challenge them 2 make infographics. #ELTChat
mcneilmahon 21:47 @esolcourses  #ELTchat Which is why I always want to talk during others' conference sessions :)
ShellTerrell 21:47 Yes! RT @esolcourses: I think speaking and listening go hand in hand though in many ways. Complementary skills  #ELTchat
AtefAbdoo 21:47 RT @ShellTerrell: RT @Raquel_EFL:  Research has shown that we take in 7% by words, 38% by tone of voice and 55% from body language. #ELTchat
alezavrill 21:47 It's also essential 2 activate sts' schemata, u never listen 2 someone or sth w/out having the slightest idea about the topic #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 21:48 @ljp2010 or even tuning in to a conversation in the overhearing sense  #ELTchat
ShellTerrell 21:48 @mcneilmahon @esolcourses Me too! It's a natural inclination for me to want to look at person next to me & discuss #Eltchat
esolcourses 21:48 @mscro1 yes, depends on the age group, I suppose. You could put them into teams, and deduct points for bad language :-) #ELTchat
RossMannell 21:48 RT @ShellTerrell: Yes! RT @esolcourses: I think speaking and listening go hand in hand though in many ways. Complementary skills  #ELTchat
hartle 21:48 RT @mcneilmahon: #ELTCHAT Should we let students talk during listening exercises? Yes,  I think.. depends how you structure it
Fuertesun 21:48 @mcneilmahon depeds on the listening activity #ELTCHAT
eannegrenoble 21:48 @hartle - it was a serious question ... maybe depends too much on the test type you're listening to (thinking about) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 21:48 @mcneilmahon Have you tried it? #ELTchat
ljp2010 21:48 never listen 2 someone or sth w/out having the slightest idea about the topic - what about if you're channel surfing?  #eltchat
kalinagoenglish 21:48 @shaunwilden yup #eLTchat
ShellTerrell 21:48 Great idea! RT @tarabenwell: Some people are more inclined to draw than note take. Challenge them 2 make infographics. #ELTChat
vickyloras 21:48 RT @tarabenwell: @ShellTerrell Yes! And let's actively listen to what they are interested in so that we can keep them engaged. #ELTChat
mcneilmahon 21:49 RT @Shaunwilden: @mcneilmahon Have you tried it? #ELTchat > Not intentionally, but those teens do it anyway, maybe shouldn't shush them
ShellTerrell 21:49 I think maybe small doses of listening mixed with chatting then listening then chatting? #ELTChat
mrszkhan 21:49 @Marisa_C @ghewgley Also 'Grammar Dictation' -discuss topic,read out short passage,ss take notes then reconstruct in groups #eltchat
esolcourses 21:49 @ShellTerrell @mcneilmahon same here :-) #ELTChat
ljp2010 21:49 @mcneilmahon  speaking during a listening?  revolutionary!  gonna try it tomorrow :-)  #eltchat
ShellTerrell 21:49 Gr8 question! RT @mcneilmahon: #ELTCHAT Should we let students talk during listening exercises? Would it encourage more active listening?
vickyloras 21:49 RT @Marisa_C: @ghewgley And "Picture Dictation" is a great activity too! similar  #ELTchat
Marisa_C 21:49 @mcneilmahon depends on what you are asking ss to do - if using taped material i'd say yet - taped stuff unnatural with f-2-f  #ELTCHAT
ShellTerrell 21:49 RT @Janshs: @Marisa_C @ghewgley how much use made of learning journals? #ELTchat I use a lot in Maths class: Ss use 4 key ideas, use pics, colours etc
vickyloras 21:49 @ghewgley That´s a great idea Gary - that way they can visualise as well and apply what they learn right away #ELTchat
ghewgley 21:50 @Janshs Journal writing - with predicting and reflecting helps so much. #ELTchat
corriekelly 21:50 RT @ShellTerrell: I think it's natural that when something moves us or stirs a reaction we want to talk about it or react vocally #ELTChat

corriekelly 21:51 @ShellTerrell #ELTchat I think Voicethread would be a great tool for learning responses (in lieu of written) for that very reason.

ghewgley 21:57 The ipad app TagPad lines up responses to questions. Great for remembering what someone said in response to specific question. #ELTchat
ljp2010 21:58 #eltchat  "habit? fear of unknown? 'control'" i guess we expect people to hear what we want them to
