Whizz-bang Reading and Listening Tasks
Communicative Language Teaching offers a useful framework for developing reading and listening skills. Albeit effective, the before-during-after task framework can tend to be just a little repetitive. Here are some whizz-bang tricks and tweaks for reading and listening tasks to really engage and energise our learners in both online and in-person classes. Each ‘trick or tweak’ is a template technique and can be used again and again with a variety of reading and listening texts at all levels.
