Listenning Lesson Plans

How to Create an ESL Listening Lesson Plan

           A lot of English learners complain they can't get enough guided listening practice. ESL course books don't always provide good listening lesson plans and material, though; so teachers are often left to design their own. When you know how to create an ESL listening lesson plan, you have almost limitless possibilities for using audio in your class. Provide plenty of useful, interesting listening lessons and your students will thank you. Read on to learn more.

Instructions


     1.Choose the topic you want to teach. Since you'll probably be following a course plan, choose listening material that provides practice with one of the topics you're currently working with. If you're working on the present perfect, you might listen to people discussing what they have or haven't done in life. For teaching food and cooking vocabulary, you could choose an interview with a chef.

     2.Find listening material. Don't feel limited to the material that comes with the course book you're following. There's a wide variety of free prepared ESL listening lessons online, complete with transcripts and activities. If you work for a language school, check the resource library or ask other teachers if they have anything that would fit your teaching goals for the lesson. With a little more time, you could even get some friends together and create your own listening material.

     3.Plan your introduction. To warm up for your ESL listening lesson, you'll want to get your class thinking about what they're going to hear. This activates passive vocabulary and provides a context, making the listening easier to understand. Start off by telling students generally what the listening is about and talk about the topic. To bring up potentially difficult vocabulary from the listening, ask questions like "What do you call a person who?" or "What's another word for?"

     4.Develop a global listening task. For the first listening, you'll need to make sure your English students got the gist of the material. Have the students predict something about what they're going to listen to so they can check their prediction as they listen. Ask students to write ten words that come to mind when they think of the topic and see how many of those words are in the listening. Other options are asking students to choose an appropriate title for the listening from a list or answer a few simple true or false questions.

     5.Create detailed listening tasks. For the second and following listening tasks, students can listen for specific words or grammar points. Your ESL listening lesson plan will move smoothly from global to detailed listening if you give your English students increasingly focused tasks. You might start with writing missing words or phrases in a transcript, move on to synonym matching and then to let students create their own sentences using words or grammar from the listening.

    6.Provide follow-up practice. Rather than just going from listening to an unrelated activity, create some continuity. If the listening used future tenses a lot, you might follow it up by having students write about their plans for the next holiday. After listening to an interview with a chef, you could practice related vocabulary with a role play about choosing a restaurant for lunch.

CBI Lesson Plans

Content Based Instruction

    Content based instruction (CBI) is a teaching method that emphasizes learning about something rather than learning about language. Although CBI is not new, there has been an increased interest in it over the last ten years, particularly in the USA and Canada where it has proven very effective in ESL immersion programs. This interest has now spread to EFL classrooms around the world where teachers are discovering that their students like CBI and are excited to learn English this way.

CBI is an effective method of combining language and content learning. Theme based CBI works well in EFL contexts, and I believe its use will increase as teachers continue to design new syllabi in response to student needs and interests. As I said at the beginning, I believe that learner motivation increases when students are learning about something, rather than just studying language. Theme based CBI is particularly appealing in this respect because teachers can use almost any content materials that they feel their students will enjoy. What can be better than seeing our students create something and learn language at the same time?

B-SLIM

Bilash's Success-Guided Language Instructional Model
 

    We talk so much about self directed learning and have structured policies and proposed practices around the assumption that all learners are equally self-directed. However, practitioners know that not all learners are equally self-directed. In fact, teachers also know from experience that some learners need to be taught to be self-directed. By being based on students’ ‘feelings of success’ in learning a second language (SL), B-SLIM (Bilash's Success-guided Language Instruction Model) incorporates enough scaffolding (structure and support) at each phase of a lesson or series of lessons for learners who are less self sufficient to succeed while simultaneously providing opportunities and direction for the more self-directed student to push forward. For example, while a less self-directed student might need to follow a template several times before really ‘getting’ the structure of a form such as a brief event review (in order to be able to create one on his/her own as an OUTPUT or 'proving it' assignment), a more self-directed learner may only need to hear or see the model once and be able to replicate and creatively alter it!


What are the goals of the B-SLIM model?


       -to develop self directed learners, especially in second languages

      -to ensure that every learner succeeds at each phase of the learning process by maximizing exposure to concepts through all learning styles/intelligences and encouraging intellectual/thinking growth in systematically developed steps
     -to help students develop all aspects of language by applying research findings from all areas of second language learning and acquisition (language awareness, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, situations- fluency-accuracy, culture and Culture, learning strategies, listening comprehension, speaking, writing, reading, forms, skills, content, motivation-attitude
    -to ensure that learners can transfer what they have learned in one familiar context to new contexts
    -to learn language and to learn through language.to identify success in learning in concrete provable terms (assessment for learning and assessment of learning).

Reading Lesson Plan

 

What is Guided Reading?

Before a student can read independently, it is important that they are monitored in small groups by their teacher to see if they are experiencing any problems. If concerns are noted and dealt with, and the content and writing techniques of the book discussed, pupils should be ready to move onto the next step in learning to read. All the while, they will be building confidence and acquiring new knowledge. The above described process is known as Guided Reading, and is a key stage on the journey to becoming a good reader.

When carrying out Guided Reading classes, the first step for the teacher is to split pupils into small groups based on their abilities. Pupils who are capable of reading similar texts and have an equal understanding of phonics and word structure should be in the same selection, as they will learn at similar paces. There's no worse knock to the confidence than being left behind and feeling like the 'stupid' one, so the grouping process is a stage of high significance if the process is to be a success.

After this, the teacher must decide on what text to use. The perfect book or extract would be one that proposes some challenges for the students, but can still be read with relative ease and no major problems. It is best to choose books from a variety of genres that cover a wide range of topics. Pupils learning to read are normally of a young age, and it's always important to expand their knowledge as much as possible - something which can be done by looking at different subjects and writing styles.
