Listening Bingo
Before doing a listening activity, give students the topic or questions. Ask students to
brainstorm vocabulary that they might expect to hear in the activity. Students then
listen and tick off the words as they hear them. This is a fantastic activity to
introduce students to a diocult piece of listening and to get them listening actively.
Collaborative
writing
Create a writing task that has four distinct parts. Students are put into groups of
four and write one part each individually. After a suocient amount of time has
elapsed, the group then puts their boards together and reviews the four pieces as a
whole. Students are then encouraged to make changes so that the piece reads like
a whole piece of writing.
Lyrics training
Write out the lyrics to a song in the target language on the board but with words
missing. Try to choose words where there is rhyming patterns. This would work well
on a PowerPoint where you can use animation to introduce words slowly. As
students listen to the song, they try to write down the word that are missing on the
mini whiteboard and hold it up. This technique could also be used with a cloze
activity.
