Activity Analysis:  Listening Strategies
 

The instructor plays a brief video clip in the target language several times, eliciting general information from the students:

  • What is the occasion?
  • What is the situation?
  • What style are the speakers using?
  • Are they using formal or casual speech?
  • What contractions might be expected based on that style?
  • Who is speaking?
  • Are they male or female?
  • What types of speech can we expect from this?
