Transcript for how to plan an ESL listening lesson:

The first step is to set the context. Whatever the listening passage is about, get students to activate their prior knowledge about that topic by talking to their partner for maybe one or two minutes about it. For example. maybe someone in the listening is talking about their favourite Christmas memory. You could have students quickly talk to their partner for one or two minutes about a Christmas memory, or you could get students to shout out maybe some Christmas vocabulary words that they know. Whatever it is, just help students kind of get a little bit familiar with the topic and then also just remember what they already know about the topic to bring to that further lesson.

Alright, the next step is to set a pre-listening task. If there are lots of vocabulary words that are important but you think the students might not know. you can pre-teach this vocabulary or you could do something like a prediction activity. You could show students kind of the title of the listening passage and get them maybe to predict what's going to happen.

The next step, step three in a listening lesson is to do a gist listening. That means the students are listening for kind of the big picture or the main idea. For this, you'll want to set a very simple task. I generally will do like two or three true or false questions, kind of big picture, big level questions. I get students to listen, they compare with their partners and then we check answers together as a class.

So then the fourth step is a more detailed listening activity. I give students some comprehension questions, I get them to read the questions and then we listen one more time. Students answer the questions, compare with their partners and then we compare together as a class.

The final step is to do some post-listening activities related to the passage the students just heard. There are a whole ton of choices for this. If you need some ideas, be sure to check out my book ESL Listening Activities for Teenagers and Adults. So that is how to plan an ESL listening lesson.

Dear Jackie. I've recently discovered your channel and I am glad to find it. Your channel is so informing and brief. Unfortunately I am an EFL teacher rather than ESL. But your suggestions are still useful. Thanks a lot <3
