2. GOALS OF TEACHING LISTENING TO YOUNG LEARNERS Define listening as it relates to children Describe different learning channel List examples of type of listening skills that young learners need to have Explain how Total Physical Response (TPR) helps students with different learning channels develop listening skills Identify listening activities for children learning English as a foreign or second language

3. TEACHING LISTENING TO YOUNG LEARNERS DEFINITION WHAT IS LISTENING BACKGROUND TO THE TEACHING OF LISTENING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LISTENING SKILL CLASSROOM TECHNIQUES AND ACTIVITY CONCLUSION LISTENING IN THE CLASSROOM end

4. What is LISTENING? LISTENING VS HEARING WHAT CHILDREN LISTEN TO LISTENING AS ONE OF THE FOUR LANGUAGE SKILLS LISTENIG AS A FOUNDATION FOR OTHER SKILLS

5. What is listening ? RECEPTIVE SKILL Listening Involves making sense of the meaningful sounds of language by using context and our knowledge of language and the world . Learners have to be able to understand the main idea of what is said as well as specific details. They also need to check any predictions they have made; and understand the speaker’s meaning, emotions, and opinions.

6. Listening VS Hearing LISTENING HEARING HEARING LISTENING BUT “It means Listening activity endorsed by hearing” In order to be able to listen in class, children need to be able to hear.

7. What Children Listen to Young children listen to a variety of voices and sounds that are around them. FOR INSTANCES:

8. LISTENING AS ONE OF THE FOUR LANGUAGE SKILLS LISTENING READING WRITING SPEAKING Listening and Speaking are oral skills, Reading and Writing are written skills. Based on to their skills and direction, Listening and Reading are RECEPTIVE skills while Speaking and Writing are PRODUCTIVE skills. “Listening is a passive activity for children” it’s not true as it can be combined with the other language skills.

9. LISTENING AS A FOUNDATION FOR OTHER SKILLS LISTENING PREPARES children FOR SPEAKING READING WRITING

10. “I ENJOY LISTENING ^_^” BACKGROUND TO THE TEACHING OF LISTENING

11. THREE MAINS LEARNING CHANNELS

12. AUDITORY CHILDREN VISUAL CHILDREN TACTILE CHILDREN INPUTS: Songs, chants, poems, stories read aloud, environmental sounds( rain, cars, trucks, animals, vacuum cleaners, computer’s printers, people walking) INPUTS: Pictures such as drawings, sketches, photograph, paintings, posters, murals, diagrams. INPUTS: Real life objects that children can touch as well as toys and puppets (it is important to make sure that the child can actually touch the objects and not merely look at them

13. There are different kinds of children characterization in listening activity, So what should teachers do to create a good atmosphere in the classroom?

14. STORY OR SONG VISUAL LEARNERS AUDITORY LEARNERS TACTILE LEARNERS Row, Row, Row Your Boat Pictures of row boats and rivers Environmental sounds of a river Rowing motion Twinkle Little Star Video or pictures of little stars are twinkling Environmental sounds of a twinkle stars Creating a star using the fold papers (origami) Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. LOOK AT PAGE 27 (ACTION)

15. By looking at the table, we can conclude that teachers should combine three of those learning channels cooperatively.

16. THE DEVELOPMENT OF LISTENING SKILLS

17. THE DEVELOPMENT OF LISTENING SKILLS ESL STUDENTS EFL STUDENTS LEARNING ENGLISH AS A FIRST LANGUAGE

18. How important teaching children to listen! You need to hear a word before you can say it You need to say a word before you can read it You need to read a word before you write it

19. LISTENING SKILLS TO PREPARE CHILDREN TO READ LOOK AT PAGE 28

20. AS A FOUNDATION FOR READING, WE NEED TO DEVELOP CHILDREN’S LISTENING COMPREHENSION AND LISTENING CAPACITY

21. SKILLS HOW IT PREPARES FOR READING Listens to and follows instructions such as Take out your pencil and your green activity book . Prepares children for variety of academic tasks Can follow an oral sequence of events such as Lucy want to the refrigerator and took out some milk. Prepares children to comprehend stories Can listen attentively to stories Prepares children to comprehend stories Can comprehend a story that has been read and/or told Prepares children to comprehend stories Can discriminate between sound such as /b/ and /p/ Prepares children to decode words/ Help to prepare children for phonics instruction Can identify rhyming sounds Prepares children to decode words/ Help to prepare children for phonics instruction Can segment (or separate) words into syllables such as ap-ple or din- ner Prepares children to decode words/ Help to prepare children for phonics instruction

22. AUDITORY PATTERNS Reading is about patterns. Detecting the auditory or phonological patterns that occur in language will better prepare children for the visual patterns that occur in English-language words. Learning to recognize rhyming words will be better to decode and read words in a similar pattern ^_^

23. CLASSROOM TECHNIQUES AND ACTIVITIES

24. REASONS WHY LEARNERS MAY FIND LISTENING DIFFICULT

25. Learners try to listen and understand word by word . Learners assume failure . Learners do not have idea of the listening context Learners are not conscious of features of connected speech , word stress, or speed of speech . Learners are not aware of the listening strategies .

26. Total Physical Response (TPR) activities TPR songs and finger plays TPR story telling Yes/no cards TPR drawing Syllable clapping Rhyming word activities Minimal pairs

27. Total Physical Response (TPR) Children or young learners can listen and follow simple commands The teacher gives an oral command while she/he demonstrates it.

28. SEVERAL POSITIVE ASPECTS OF TPR It utilizes the auditory, visual, and tactile learning channels it helps to teach children to follow direction and listen attentively-two important skills for academic success. in keeping with developmentally appropriate notions or thoughts, children are allowed to listen and then choose when they feel comfortable to start speaking. it can easily adapted in many different ways for young learners.

29. WHAT TEACHERS SHOULD CONSIDER WHILE USING TPR ACTIVITY: THE COMPLEXITY OF THE LANGUAGE BEING USED (VOCABULARY AND WORD DICTION) MAKING SURE THE GRAMMAR IS CLEAR AND EASILY TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY YOUNG LEARNERS

30. TPR SONGS AND FINGER-PLAYS Head and Shoulders Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes, Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes, Eyes and ears and mouth and nose, Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes, Instance:

31. TPR STORY TELLING (LOOK AT PAGE 34)

32. YES/NO CARDS No Yes FRONT BACK

33. TPR DRAWING The following example commands: 1. Draw a circle 2. Draw two eyes. The eyes can be any color you want 3. Draw a smiling lip 4. Draw some hair. Make it long or short

34. Syllable clapping Happy = hap- (clap) - py Apple = Ap - (clap) - ple Anggry = Ang - (clap) - ngry

35. RHYMING WORDS ACTIVITY FAT VAT CAT HAT BAT MAT SAT RAT NAT PAT UNDERLINED WORDS ARE UNCOMMON OR INFREQUENTKLY USED

36. MINIMAL PAIRS Minimal pairs are two words that differ in only one sound. They have closed similar sound. It is better to use picture s. It can be also combined by yes/no cards activity. CAT HAT

37. LISTENING IN THE CLASSROOM

38. STEPS FOR DEVELOPING LISTENING LESSONS Pre - Listening While - Listening Post - Listening

39. Techniques for pre – listening instructions. PRE - LISTENING ACTIVATING PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE Contextualization . Pre teach vocabulary . (Look at pictures , etc.) Prediction . ( What is coming ) Discussion ( Discuss the topic ) Games Guiding questions .

40. PROCESSING INFORMATION WHILE - LISTENING - Comparing . - Obeying instructions . - Filling in gaps. - Detecting differences . - Ticking of items . - Information transfer. - Sequencing . - Matching .

41. POST-LISTENING USE OF INFORMATION Answering to show comprehension . - Summarizing . - Jigsaw listening . - Writing follow up. - Speaking as follow up.
