third practicum session

Our third practicum session was today (21.04.2009) .it was about teaching listening.The objective of the lesson was to successfully enhance students' listening skills through the given activities. In the pre-listening activity a game was played.all students were asked to make a circle .I whispered one sentence( I love onion capsicum pizza) in a student's ear and she repeated the same to the other student and thus the circle was completedTthe last student spoke loudly the sentence which she had heard (and it was-I love my India).
For while listening activity i had chosen reading for a specific purpose in which an audio clip was played and students were asked to answer some questions.as the clip was related to cooking i asked some students to tell some recipe and asked them what would happen if the recipe was not listened properly.It was the post listening activity.In the end of the class, students were given some study tips for developing attentive listening skills.
i enjoyed the lesson very much but there are some points which i should keep in mind

• objectives shold be written on the board and revised and reviewed again
• if the activities finish earlier,there should be some back up activity
