CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Listening to yourself speak during normal conversation gives you a lot of useful information about how you are doing and what you can improve upon, even subconsciously! I will send you some simple instructions and some free content to use prior to an online speaking task with some of your online friends from your existing online networks. We will then share and discuss the results in the session.

(2) Would you change anything in teaching listening to assure that you KNOW what students LEARNED?
(3) What are your thoughts about monitoring your input to students according to the idea of Krashen’s Comprehensible Input? Would you do anything different after listening to the class?

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
How can you teach in a way where you will know DURING the activity and lesson that your students are actually mastering the listening skill you are teaching?
