appropriate activity to teach Listening for young learners? Give

appropriate for YL?

confidence. So that YL
need to start with
plenty of listening.

“Children need purposes and intentions


which they can recognize and respond to
with others” (Donaldson, 1978)
Aspects of difficulty for young learner to
listen

difficult for children to listen

2. Familiarity of the person who they are

Quotation

Brewster, Ellis, and Girard caution (2002) that

asking children to “listen and remember” can
Draw make them anxious, places a great strain on their
- Listen & memory and tends not to develop listening skills
Color
TPR (Total Physical Response) approach

TPR links learning to


physical actions and
ensures that learners will
hear a lot of natural
English in meaningful
contexts without having
to respond verbally
The instruction in the teacher’s book :

– The teacher does the actions as the cassette is


played
– Pupils join in as they become confident
– Pupils point to pictures in the book as they hear the
instructions
– Pupils do the actions and join in with the words if
they want
Quotation
(Zone Proximal Development)
– Learning was ahead of developmental and
for development to occur, interaction with
adults or peers who are more knowledgeble
is needed
