The Ss

Vocabulary Review (3-5 minutes) • To unblock key lexis needed to help the students to understand the text

The Ss will match different pictures with types of TV programmes. The students will review some items of vocabulary (that they most probably already know). This task will facilitate the understanding of the listening. The Ss will be given an answer key to compare their answers with.

Prediction task (6-8 minutes) • To prepare students for the listening and make it accessible

Ss will first work individually, then check their answers in pairs and will be finally given an answer key.

Listening for specific information (5-7 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed listening tasks

Ss will listen to the audio again and will put the sentences in the correct order. In this task, Ss will have to scan the audio for specific information.

Listening for detail (6-8 minutes) • To practice listening for detailed comprehension

Ss will listen to the audio one more time to get a more detailed comprehension of the people´s answers. First they will work individually, then check in pairs. Finally WC feedback.
