Description

In this lesson, students will practice listening for details and specific information in a text about renting a flat. Before the listening, there will be an extensive review of furniture and house lexis and some new vocabulary will be introduced. The three listening tasks will all focus on listening for gist and will use the vocabulary that was pre-taught in the first stages. The post-listening activity will be a role play, in which the students will be asked to act out a scenario that could follow the scene in the listening track.

Listening #1 (3-5 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

T tells students they are going to listen to an estate agent showing Ana and Carlos a flat they are thinking of renting. T sticks a large copy of the floor plan on WB and explains that the students need to write down the names of the rooms in the correct place. T distributes the HO and plays the track once. After, T nominates Sts to share their answers while T writes the rooms on the HO.

Listening #2 (3-5 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

T explains that Sts will listen to the recording again. This time they should write down the name of two items they hear for each room. 'For example, if you hear the estate agent say: "there is a bed in the bedroom", write down "bed" in bedroom'. T plays recording again. Sts check their answers in pairs and after a few minutes, T writes down the answers on HO.

Listening #3 (3-5 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

T sticks a large version of HO2 on WB and explains that Sts will now listen again and fill out the form. First, the Sts will read through the form and write down anything they remember. T answers potential Qs about terms on the form. T plays recording again and lets Sts check their answers in pairs. T writes down answers on large HO when Sts are almost done.
