Teaching Tools for Listening

Hello #EdukaPeople!

Listening skills commonly have been developed in the classroom by the teacher using audio files and graded listening activities. The audio file is usually played by the teacher and the students have activities. However, this is an area of language learning where digital technology and mobile devices can have a significant impact. There are now a great many websites and apps that students can use to develop their listening skills independently and which teachers can use to create interesting learning and support materials for their students.

In this nice occasion, I’d like to share some teaching tools for teachers that they can use to improve students’ listening skill.

LyricsTraining

LyricsTraining can be particularly useful to teachers looking for a fun and entertaining way to teach new words and help students improve their listening skills. LyricsTraining can be used by anyone, whatever their language level. If your learners spend a lot of time listening to music, then this is an ideal site to send them to.

So, I share this websites that teacher can access. This website provides many worksheets which is classified based on the level. Moreover, the worksheet contains the link for the recording. So, teacher and student can practice directly.

Synth

Synth is an interesting way to make podcasts more interactive and engaging for students. You can record your podcast, a message, a question or an audio file for your students to listen to and they then have to record a reply, or add to your message. This is a great way to either collect knowledge together or create dialogue with students while developing their listening skills. It can be used on iOS or in the web-browser.
