But, it’s not so crazy and I actually had no system of any sort until I took the CELTA course a few years back. After that course, I could recite the basic ESL listening lesson plan in my sleep! Thank you CELTA!

10 Best Free Listening Websites with Quizzes to Practise for Listening Exams So what do you do to practise listening for exams? Growing up, I never had the opportunity to do any extra practice to improve my listening skills. We didn’t have the Internet and the thousand possibilities it offers to learners of any language nowadays. The teachers had an old tape player that sometimes stopped and started on its own and old tapes that ended up sounding distorted and most of the times unlistenable so if you wanted to get better at listening, you just listened to the radio and struggled to understand the lyrics and sing along. Not that I ever complained. That was the perfect excuse to listen to music while claiming to be working hard.

Setting up in the young learner classroom Having had the privilege of observing many primary and secondary English language teachers, I often find myself writing developmental comments on setting up tasks and activities: In the setting up stage, I recommend you let your students know the boundaries – especially when giving out such fun stuff (scissors, paper, sticks, etc.) Try to see this stage as part of behavioural management too.Don’t forget that children need a clear reason and purpose to do something in class. Time needs to be taken 1) to set up the context/task and 2) to enthuse and engage them in the context/task.You said to the students that they were going to an island and were on a boat, but what kind of island? And what for? Was it for a holiday?
The Logical Song – A different look at the FCE Word Formation part – Get creative Lesson based on a song by Supertramp Level(s): (B2) Upper-Intermediate / (C1) Advanced Aimed at: Teenagers/young adults/adults Aims: Listening for gist and specific information/ FCE practice: to provide an environment where students can practise their word formation skills in a memorable way/ Speaking Materials: Worksheet 1 Teenagers and grammar Here are some ideas for making grammar teaching more teen-friendly. Break down negativity If your students are very resistant to grammar, show them why it’s necessary. Record someone (yourself or a teen) using correct vocabulary but confusing grammar and ask them what the problem is. You could also give them written messages without any grammar words and ask them to make sense of them. Sometimes students are put off by metalanguage, such as the names of tenses, or the G–word itself, so avoid it!
Songs in the classroom – wrong lyrics – Get creative Levels: Any Aims: To listen for individual words/To make listening fun/To help the students make their own listening tasks Choose a song appropriate for your students´ level of English.

Clothes First, learners will do a drawing-on-the-back activity to review clothes vocabulary. Then they do a simple drawing dictation to practise using the present continuous with clothes, and play a game to describe what their classmates are wearing. Finally, there are two options for learners to make a poster, as well as ideas for homework and follow-up activities.
