If they say anything that is alright otherwise the T will give them the information. Do you know what a TV show is?( it is a contest and contestants compete to win) Do you any rules for these contests? Then they will listen to the first part of the listening to learn the rules. They will be asked some questions to internalize these rules since all of the listening is based on these rules. How many people (contestants) are there? What are their names? What are the categories? Can they choose which category to respond? How many clues will the presenter give them?
T will play the audio and pause chunk by chunk let them listen and try to guess the answer. At the end of each chunk it the Ss guess the correct answer some comprehension questions will follow otherwise the T will show the image of the actors and authors discussed in the audio. how did you guess? what helped you guess the answer?
