Warm-up with New Words

Part A (5 min.): As a class, read the words in the New Words section. There are eight new words in total; four words in Part A and four words in Part B. Have students complete Part A individually. Afterward, check the answers as a class.

Part B (5 min.): Next, have students look at Part B and individually complete it. After students have recorded their own answers, have them work in pairs to share their answers with each other. This communicative activity will give students a chance to orally practice the language targets of the unit before moving on to the main listening activities.

Part C (5 min.): Give students a minute to study the photos that they see in Part C. Ask students to brain-

storm some of the vocabulary related to these images or to briefly explain what they see in each image. After it is clear that students have considered each image, explain the activity for Part C by reading the instruction line together. Then play the audio track listed for this activity. Students will listen to the words and match the words to the pictures by writing the correct word under the appropriate picture. Students should work individually in order to practice their own listening skills. Afterward, check the answers as a class.

This Listening Time series is designed for young, beginner to low level intermediate students.

Each book in the series contains listening passages and conversations followed by a variety of activities designed to reinforce the vocabulary, grammar, themes and concepts being introduced in each unit. Various conversations and passages are used within each unit to enhance variations on each new theme, and each unit concludes with a quiz section to summarize the main objectives being taught.

There are twenty units in each book, each with a different thematic focus. Each unit can be covered in one hour. Students should work individually on some of the sections, and with a partner for others. An example lesson plan is provided below. However, the teacher should feel free to adapt this to their own particular teaching style as well as to the particular needs of the students. Furthermore, it is left up to the teacher to gauge how thoroughly each step of this lesson plan needs to be implemented in their classes.

Teaching Tip:For classes that need additional pronunciation practice, students should try to repeat the words, focusing on their pronunciation and intonation.
