Question 1
1.1. Teaching 'Summarising' and 'Paraphrasing' During the Listening Process
Summarising and paraphrasing are essential skills that help learners process and
understand information. When teaching these skills during the listening process,
it's crucial to scaffold the instruction to ensure students grasp the concepts
effectively.
, Summarising involves condensing the main ideas of a text into a shorter version.
To teach summarising:
1. Pre-listening Activity:
o Discuss the topic and activate prior knowledge.
o Introduce key vocabulary and phrases.
2. During Listening:
o Ask students to listen for main ideas and key points.
o Provide a structured note-taking template, focusing on main ideas,
supporting details, and examples.
3. Post-listening Activity:
o Have students work in pairs to discuss the main points they noted.
o Guide students to write a summary of the text, emphasizing the
inclusion of only the most critical information.
o Example: If the listening text is about "The Water Cycle," students
should summarise the process by highlighting key stages like
evaporation, condensation, and precipitation without detailed
explanations.
Paraphrasing involves restating information in one's own words. To teach
paraphrasing:
1. Pre-listening Activity:
o Explain what paraphrasing is and why it is useful.
o Provide examples of paraphrased sentences.
