How?
1. Prepare the learners by asking questions
whose answers help introducing topic
and characters.
2. Ask for predictions about what the
story will be, based on the pictures,
logic or imagination.
3. Start reading and pointing to the pictures
and the text.
4. Use all possible realia, create character
masks, and intone your voice to act while reading.
Pre-listening:
• Prepare the learners by: questions and answers introducing topic and characters.
• Ask for guesses based on logic or imagination of what they are going to hear.
During Listening:
• Always keep them alert by showing, moving, and playing with
flash cards, pictures of characters and objects.
• Use actions and movement as much as possible to accompany songs and encourage
the children to participate.
• They need a reason for listening. Give them a task: focus on words or ideas to
search for, sounds to search for, learning the sounds to repeat later.
• Use the same song again and again; this gives motivation, confidence and
security coming from familiarity.
Post Listening:
• Ask vocabulary questions. Ask for details. Ask for repetition.
