Stage I Pre-Listening:
Prepare pupils for the listening activity by doing one or more of the following: introduce the topic of
listening, activate pupils’ existing or prior knowledge, define a purpose for the listening activity,
and/or predict information about the text.
Stage II While Listening:
Pupils listen to the text at least twice. The first time allows pupils to get a general idea about the
topic and verify the accuracy of their predictions. The second and subsequent times help pupils to
derive the information they need to complete the tasks identified in the pre-listening stage.
Stage III Post-Listening:
Pupils act upon what they have heard to give evidence that they understood the text.
12. Songs and Chants
