Procedure (45-55 minutes)

Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

The students will discuss in groups (or pairs if we have fewer students) what they are interested in when looking for a job. I will provide them with a couple of examples beforehand so they can start to get in the mindset of the topic.

Pre-Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Students will complete a match activity to review vocabulary that will be in the listening.

While-Listening #1 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information listening tasks

The students will hear an audio recording with the purpose of understanding the general idea. After listening they will go back to their groups (or pairs) and they will discuss who of the people in the audio had similar interests to theirs.

While-Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference listening tasks

Students will listen a second time to the audio file and take note of the recorded people's interests so they can complete the blank boxes in the interest box activity. They will once again partner up to check if they have the same answers. Afterward we'll discuss together the interests they heard.

Post-Listening (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Finally, the students will have an opportunity to use the vocabulary as we discuss some suggestions of possible jobs, or careers, that the people in the recording might be interested in based on what they shared.
