1. What is the important of listening skill in the class room?

The importance of listening :


➢ Listening is essential for effective communication. ➢ Listening builds trust and rapport (better
relationship). ➢ Listening is essential for learning. ➢ Listening can help us to be more productive. ➢
Listening can help us to make better decisions. ➢ Listening can help us to solve problems more
effectively. ➢ Listening can help us to develop empathy. ➢ Listening is essential in resolving conflicts.
➢ It is easier for young children to listen to English than to read and write it. Children will often
understand much more than they can say or write. ➢ If students listen to a lot of English, they will be
able to pick up more words and phrases. ➢ Some children learn better when they hear information,
rather than seeing it.
2. Why is teaching rhyme important and why ?

Importance of Teaching Rhyme :

Rhyming helps develop phonemic awareness. 2. Rhyming activities draw attention to these sounds,
helping children develop the ability to hear and isolate individual sounds in words. 3. Rhyming enhances
vocabulary development. 4. Rhyming exposes children to new words in a fun and memorable way. 5.
The repetition and rhythm of rhymes help children retain new vocabulary, expanding their linguistic
repertoire. 6. Rhyming promotes literacy skills. Rhyming activities encourage young children to play
with language, experimenting with sounds and patterns. This playful interaction with language lays a
foundation for later literacy skills, such as reading and writing. 7. Rhyming fosters cognitive
development. Rhyming activities engage the brain's auditory and memory systems, stimulating cognitive
development. Children learn to make connections between sounds and words, enhancing their ability to
process and understand language. 8. Rhyming cultivates a love of language. Rhyming activities make
learning fun and engaging, fostering a positive association with language. Children develop a sense of
joy and playfulness with language, which can motivate them to continue learning. 9. Rhyming provides
a rich source of exposure to rhyming patterns and vocabulary.

3. Technique of teaching new words.

Here’s a brief overview of techniques for teaching new words in the classroom:

1. Contextual Teaching: Introduce new words within sentences or stories to show their use in context.
2. Visual Aids: Use pictures, flashcards, or diagrams to visually represent new vocabulary.
3. Synonyms and Antonyms: Teach new words alongside their synonyms and antonyms to build
connections.
4. Word Maps: Create semantic maps or mind maps to explore related words and concepts.
5. Games and Activities: Engage students with word-matching, crossword puzzles, or vocabulary bingo.
6. Technology: Use educational apps and online resources for interactive vocabulary practice.
7. Mnemonic Devices: Employ acronyms, rhymes, or songs to make new words memorable.
8. Role-Playing: Have students use new words in role-playing or acting activities to reinforce learning.
9. Repetition and Review: Regularly revisit and practice new vocabulary through quizzes or daily
exercises.
10. Personalized Learning: Encourage students to keep word journals and write sentences using new
vocabulary.
11. Prior Knowledge: Relate new words to concepts students already know to build on existing knowledge.
12. Collaborative Learning: Facilitate group discussions and peer teaching to deepen understanding.

These techniques help make vocabulary learning engaging, memorable, and effective.
4. What do you mean by integration of skill ?

The integration of skills in learning English involves combining various language skills—listening,
speaking, reading, and writing—into a cohesive learning process. This approach reflects how language
is used in real life, where these skills often overlap and support each other.

5. What is the characteristics of guided writing ?


Guided writing is a teaching approach that provides learners with structured support to help them
develop their writing skills. Unlike controlled writing, which focuses on specific language rules or
structures, guided writing involves more open-ended activities where students are given guidance and
support throughout the writing process. The goal is to help students build their writing abilities while
still allowing for some degree of creativity and personal expression.
Characteristics of Guided Writings
• Focuses on both accuracy and fluency. • The teacher provides the language partly. • Students have a
little choice to create something over the language and content.

6. Write the sub skill of reading skills?


There are three stages of reading skills which are: Pre-reading, While-reading and Post reading.

1. Pre-Reading

 Purpose: Prepare learners for the reading task, build background knowledge, and set the context for
understanding the text.
 Activities:
o Preview the Text: Look at titles, headings, illustrations, and any text features to make
predictions about the content.
o Activate Prior Knowledge: Discuss related topics or personal experiences to connect with the
text.
o Set a Purpose: Define specific goals for reading, such as identifying key themes or
understanding a particular concept.
o Introduce Vocabulary: Teach key terms or phrases that will appear in the text to aid
comprehension.

2. While-Reading

 Purpose: Engage with the text actively to improve comprehension and retention of information.
 Activities:
o Annotate or Highlight: Mark important information, unfamiliar words, or key ideas in the text.
o Take Notes: Jot down main points, summaries of paragraphs, or questions that arise while
reading.
o Make Predictions: Continuously predict what might happen next or how the text will develop
based on the information read so far.
o Monitor Comprehension: Check understanding periodically by summarizing sections or
clarifying confusing parts.

3. Post-Reading

 Purpose: Reflect on the text, consolidate understanding, and apply insights gained from reading.
 Activities:
o Summarize: Write a summary of the main ideas and key details of the text.
o Discuss: Engage in discussions or group activities to explore themes, character development, or
overall messages of the text.
o Answer Questions: Respond to questions about the text to assess comprehension and critical
thinking.
o Connect: Relate the content to personal experiences, other texts, or broader concepts to deepen
understanding.

Each stage is designed to enhance different aspects of the reading process, from preparing students to engage
with the text to consolidating and reflecting on what has been learned.

7. How many stages of listening skill and explain it ?

To develop listening skills for understanding texts and words, teachers can utilize a structured approach that
includes stages designed to enhance comprehension and retention. Here’s how you can implement each stage in
a classroom setting:

1. Pre-Listening

 Purpose: Prepare students for what they will hear and activate prior knowledge.
 Activities:
o Introduce the Topic: Provide background information or context about the text or words they
will hear.
o Set Objectives: Share what students should listen for, such as main ideas, specific details, or key
vocabulary.
o Pre-Teach Vocabulary: Introduce new or challenging words that will appear in the listening
material.

2. While-Listening

 Purpose: Focus on actively processing and understanding the information as it is presented.


 Activities:
o Guided Listening: Play the audio or read the text aloud while students follow along. Use
techniques like pausing to ask questions or discuss key points.
o Listening Tasks: Provide tasks such as filling in missing words, answering comprehension
questions, or noting key information.
o Interactive Exercises: Engage students with activities like group discussions or role-plays based
on the listening material.

3. Post-Listening

 Purpose: Reinforce and reflect on what was heard to deepen understanding and integrate learning.
 Activities:
o Review and Discuss: Go over the main points and details with the class. Encourage students to
share their thoughts and interpretations.
o Follow-Up Activities: Assign related tasks such as writing summaries, creating presentations, or
engaging in projects that build on the listening content.
o Feedback: Provide constructive feedback on students' performance and understanding,
addressing any difficulties they encountered.
Example Implementation for a Text or Word Listening Activity:

1. Pre-Listening:
o Introduce a story or article and discuss its main themes.
o Teach key vocabulary that will appear in the text.
o Ask students to predict what the text will be about based on the title or topic.
2. While-Listening:
o Read the text aloud or play an audio recording while students listen and follow along.
o Ask students to complete a cloze activity (fill-in-the-blanks) or identify specific details as they
listen.
o Pause occasionally to discuss important points and answer any questions.
3. Post-Listening:
o Have a class discussion about the text’s main ideas and key details.
o Ask students to write a summary or a reflection on the text.
o Engage in a related activity, such as a debate or creative project, that connects to the listening
material.

By following these stages, you help students develop their listening skills in a structured way, improving their
ability to understand and engage with both spoken and written texts.
