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.
o Example: If a segment of the listening text says, "Plants need sunlight to perform
photosynthesis," a paraphrase could be, "Plants require sunlight to create food through the
process of photosynthesis."
1.2. Implementing the Three Stages of Listening with a Suitable Listening Text
Listening Text: "Once upon a time in a small village, there was a wise old man who was known for his
intelligence and kind heart. People from all over would come to him seeking advice. One day, a young boy
approached the wise man, troubled by a problem he couldn’t solve. The wise man listened patiently and then
shared his wisdom, which helped the boy find a solution. From that day on, the boy knew he could always rely
on the wise man for guidance."
