PDPI – Methodology

Harmer. Ch. 19. “Listening”, pp. 336-357 Study Guide

1. Skills and strategies – Define and explain

Top down listening

We use it to describe an approach where students first attempt to understand the overall, general
meaning of they are listening or reading.

Bottom up listening

It happens when listeners concentrate on understanding individual words as way of understanding the
whole.

2. Extensive listening
students need to listen to a lot of texts. The student has the autonomy to choose what he wants
to study.

3. Live listening

A popular way of ensuring communication, where the teacher and or visitors to the class talk to
the students.

Recorded listening – advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

Different voices - Students can hear different voices, accents.


Availability - The material is available everywhere.
Repetition - The material can be played again and again

Disadvantages:

Acoustics - In big classrooms with poor acoustics, the audibility of recorded material is
not good.
All together - Everyone has to listen at the same time.
Interaction - Students cannot interact with the speakers.
4. Film and Video techniques (8 examples)

Silent viewing (for language) - The teacher plays the film extract at normal speed but without
the sound.
Freeze frame - At any stage during a video sequence, we can “freeze” the picture
Fast forward - The teacher presses the play button and then fast-forwards the DVD or video so
that the sequence shoots past silently and at great speed.
Picture or speech - We can divide the class in two so that of the class faces the screen and half
faces away.
Videotelling - We can ask the students to predict what they are going to see, based on clues we
give them.
Partial viewing - Students are allowed to see a partial view of the pictures on the screen.
Pictureless listening - In a scene without dialogue, the students can listen to the sound effects to
guess what is happening.
Silent viewing (for music) - The same technique used in the silent viewing (for language) can be
used here.

5. Music – How do you use music for listening? How could you use music for listening?

I usually use short dialogues and I repeat the listening three times at least. Sometimes I use my own
voice to do listening activities.
