Lecture / taking notes
Upper - Intermediate, B2 level

Description

In this lesson, the students will practise listening for taking notes of key information in the context of attending a lecture. The lesson will start with a warm up activity and continues with a short discussion around situations in which students take notes and the kind of information they jot down. Following this, students will be provided with an example of notes taken by a student in a lecture about Maria Montessori's biography to show them techniques for taking notes, before listening to the second part of the lecture and take their own notes. Prior to the listening, the teacher will check the meaning of some words and this is followed by a controlled activity by filling the gaps with abbrevations.As for the main task, students will listen to the recording and use the techniques learned before to take their own notes, which will be shared with colleagues afterwards. Finally the students will have group discussion on Maria Montessori's role in education as post - listening.
