Listening skills

Instructions

You will do at least two different listening assignments. Your assignments should all be different audio/video types; check the list below.

For each assignment, you will need to:

  1. summarise the story (if fictional) or main items (if non-fictional) of the audio/video you listened to;
  2. make a mini-dictionary of at least twenty words and phrases you have heard in your listening (this may mean you will need to listen to it more than once) --> you can later add these words to your vocabulary list.
  3. evaluate how listening to this particular audio/video fragment could improve your English;
  4. collect your work for steps 1-3 in one document (Pages / Keynote / paper) and add it to your tile in Egodact.

Audio/video types

Wasp Reporter

You can ask your English coach for a copy of the Wasp Reporter, a magazine used in HVX High for English. In this magazine you can find different sorts of articles and assignments; choose to do one with a listening focus (your coach can explain more about how WR works)
