Listening to a Shakespeare play we put an effort into trying to understand what is going on and we can understand most of the dialect; however, we are unable to reproduce the dialect in our own conversation.

Making Sense of What We Hear

Content Schema  Knowledge about the topic  Knowledge gained from life experiences  Cultural Knowledge Textual Schema  Knowledge of language and content used in a particular situation.  The need to consider context and register.

1) A. It’s a doggy doggy world. B. It’s a dog eat dog world. 2) A. It’s a blessing in disguise. B. It’s a blessing in the skies.

To achieve a balance of Top-down processing and Bottom-up processing. Activate Schemata Move toward Interactive Processing

 Not real world –In the real world we have a reason to listen  *Therefore listening tasks should be meaningful  Not understanding vs. forgetting while doing the listening comprehension questions  Global Listening – Listen for gist  Listening for Specific Information  Listening for Inferences

 Keep the task simple  Choosing specific info after anticipation exercise is easier than listening for a lot of info  Since listening is a receptive skill learners responses should not be overly complicated  Keep it meaningful  Comprehensible input

 Looking at pictures allows Ss to activate their schemata (comprehensible input)  Doing pair work with pictures encourages interaction  Builds background knowledge through sharing of ideas

The best post-listening should be preparation for the next lesson because it will: Build background knowledge (Content Schema) Build vocabulary (Textual Schema) Establish Continuity Keep It Meaningful
