Teaching IELTS Listening: Interactive Classroom Activities (2nd Edition) PDF eBook

IELTS Listening: Interactive Classroom Activities 2^nd Edition

If you think there must be more to teaching IELTS Listening than just doing lots of IELTS Listening, then this is the book for you. It contains over 350 pages of classroom-tested photocopiables that should quickly improve students’ IELTS Listening scores and listening skills more generally, with stimulating materials on the most common language from the Listening paper, vital exam tips, and typical student difficulties like common spelling mistakes and words that are hard to catch. Its materials have been successfully used with students at all levels from IELTS 4.0 to IELTS 8.5, including mixed-level classes.

This IELTS Listening e-book includes:

• icebreakers, warmers and easy introductions to IELTS Listening
• fun activities to intensively practise common language from IELTS Listening
• lots of useful oral practice for IELTS Listening (speaking about exam tactics, IELTS Speaking on IELTS Listening topics, personalised practice of the language, etc)
• specific materials for every part of the exam and every question type (multiple choice, gapfill, maps, diagram labelling, and the different kinds of matching task)
• work on things that students often have difficulty in catching and/ or writing down (spellings, plurals, numbers, homophones, minimal pairs, silent letters, connected speech, etc)
• lots of work on typical vocabulary from the exam (vocabulary on the most common listening topics, British English, synonyms of words in the questions, etc)
• lots of work on typical functional language from the exam (checking/ clarifying, opinions, signposting, describing steps in processes, etc)
• work on some grammar that often comes up in IELTS Listening (countable and uncountable, embedded questions, etc)
• tons of vital IELTS Listening tips (on reading through the questions, anticipating possible answers, avoiding typical tricks, spotting what can help, checking answers, time management, self-study, etc)
• links to IELTS Speaking, IELTS Writing and IELTS Reading
• indexes by title, activity and language point

As the name of the book suggests, the materials in Teaching IELTS Listening: Interactive Classroom Activities are all designed to stimulate classroom interaction, with no awkward silences, no wasting time on things that are better done at home, and a surprising amount of useful classroom speaking for a book on listening! Stimulating pairwork and groupwork activities also help make the language and tips more memorable, and lead to more intensive practice of the language than more traditional IELTS Listening materials do. Such activities include:

• tips and useful phrases
• pairwork dictation
• pairwork error correction
• roleplays
• guessing games
• question writing tasks
• using IELTS Listening language challenges
• answering questions from IELTS Listening
• discussing opinions from IELTS Listening
• finding things in common
• bluffing
• races and quick reaction games

Teaching IELTS Listening: Interactive Classroom Activities can be used for everything from a one-off lesson to a whole IELTS Listening course, including as a supplement to less interactive and less intensive IELTS textbooks and listening materials. Its materials are particularly suitable for use before and after practice tests.
