Listen A Minute: Easier English Listening and Activities Say What? 5 Ways to Get Students to Listen Ah, listening, the neglected literacy skill. I know when I was a high school English teacher this was not necessarily a primary focus; I was too busy honing the more measurable literacy skills -- reading, writing, and speaking. But when we think about career and college readiness, listening skills are just as important. This is evidenced by the listening standards found in the Common Core and also the integral role listening plays in collaboration and communication, two of the four Cs of 21st century learning. So how do we help kids become better listeners? Strategy #1: Say it Once Repeating ourselves in the classroom will produce lazy listening in our students. Of course you don't want to leave distracted students in the dust so for those few who forgot to listen, you can advise them to, "ask three, then ask me." Strategy #2: Turn and Talk One way to inspire active listening in your students is to give them a listening task. Strategy #3: Student Hand Signals Motivating Words

Photo by diamond geezer/flickr. Here in Britain, we have been celebrating a birthday. The new railway was controversial and unpopular with many people. Steam engines pulled the first underground trains. More underground railway lines opened in the following years. To celebrate the 150th birthday of the London Underground, one of the old steam engines came out of its retirement home in a museum to pull a special Underground train. To finish this podcast, here is some Underground vocabulary for you to learn. When you go into an Underground station, you will see signs that say things like “Bakerloo Line southbound”. After you have followed the signs and found the right platform, and the train has arrived, you will often hear an announcement telling passengers to “mind the gap”. When you arrive at your destination, you will probably step onto an escalator to carry you up to the surface.
