To provide gist and specific information listening practice using a text about Housework in the context of cleaning habits
Procedure (42-51 minutes)
I will show the picture from the book on page 31 and ask students questions about housework and cleaning habits to activate background knowledge. Students discuss whether they like cleaning and who does housework at home.
I will pre-teach key word items such as "neat", "chores", and "cleaning products" using pictures and simple definitions to ensure students understand the main topic before listening.
Before playing the listening, I will give them 1 minute to read the questions, and then students listen to the video blog for the gist and answer a general question about the main idea of the text, like exercise B. They focus on confirming their prediction and understanding the main idea. Students compare answers in pairs before the whole class feedback.
Students listen again and answer the detailed comprehension questions in Exercise D. They focus on listening for specific information. Students check their answers in pairs before the whole class feedback.
Students discuss which cleaning tips they found most useful and talk about their own cleaning habits in pairs, and then the whole class.
