Question 1
1.1. Teaching 'Summarising' and 'Paraphrasing' During the Listening Process
Summarising and paraphrasing are essential skills that help learners process and understand
information. When teaching these skills during the listening process, it's crucial to scaffold the
instruction to ensure students grasp the concepts effectively.
Summarising involves condensing the main ideas of a text into a shorter version. To teach
summarising:
1. Pre-listening Activity:
o Discuss the topic and activate prior knowledge.
, o Introduce key vocabulary and phrases.
2. During Listening:
o Ask students to listen for main ideas and key points.
o Provide a structured note-taking template, focusing on main ideas, supporting
details, and examples.
3. Post-listening Activity:
o Have students work in pairs to discuss the main points they noted.
o Guide students to write a summary of the text, emphasizing the inclusion of only
the most critical information.
o Example: If the listening text is about "The Water Cycle," students should
summarise the process by highlighting key stages like evaporation, condensation,
and precipitation without detailed explanations.
Paraphrasing involves restating information in one's own words. To teach paraphrasing:
1. Pre-listening Activity:
o Explain what paraphrasing is and why it is useful.
o Provide examples of paraphrased sentences.
2. During Listening:
o Encourage students to focus on understanding the overall meaning rather than
memorizing exact words.
o Use short segments of the text for practice.
3. Post-listening Activity:
o Have students work in groups to paraphrase key sections of the listening text.
o Provide feedback and correct any misinterpretations.
