Sounds Around Us

Students can better comprehend the language they study when they listen attentively. However most listening-comprehension exercises develop words recognition skills rather than attention. Play the listening game to pay attention to the sounds they hear but are not aware of.

1. Ask students to sit still trying not to make any sounds
2. Ask them to close their eyes for one minute and listen to the sounds inside and outside the room
3. After one minute, ask them to open their eyes and write on the board: 'Did you hear?'
4. Students begin asking you, 'Did you hear the scream?' 'Did you hear the car crash?' etc.
5. Answer them with, 'Yes, I did!' or 'No, I didn't.'

You will teach your students to be good listeners. This will help them understand more of foreign speech in real life situation that is much different from a distinct voice on a record.
