We can’t re-listen in the same waythat we can re-
read, so…
…we have toconcentrate very
hard when weare listening
Children have a very short attention span...
…but it is something that
improves with time.
We have to develop activities to verify the
understanding of children while they are listening.
It is important not to overload children when
you are working on listening task…
Some listening activities will…
… make your pupils
move about, create
movement and/or
noise
… make them
concentrate and
create a peaceful
atmosphere.
