the 11th week

The eleventh week was about teaching listening.

 We had to plan a lesson for about 15 minutes devoted to teaching listening. I' ve prepared a text for listening. we've studied that there are 3 stages in teaching for example listening. before listening, first listening and second listening... 

The theme of my lesson was sport in Britain. I  prepared words to learn them, I mean students, by heart... But I made some mistakes; I felt really embarassed because of that.

Also all of us had to make  seminar. as usual we divided seminar into several parts and we made handouts. I had a question devoted to principles of teahcing listening, to cut a long story short i can say that the most important prinsiple in teaching listening that if you want to listen to someone speech you don't have to talk. There are different situations when person has to listen but he distubs speaker's speeech and that is wrong, we have to concentrate on the speaker speech and that is it...
