, QUESTION 1 – LISTENING AND SPEAKING
1.1 Listening Phases and Activities
When teaching listening skills, it's useful to break the process into three phases: pre-
listening, while-listening, and post-listening. Here’s how each phase works and how
you can apply it using the story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant:
Pre-Listening: In this phase, you prepare students for the listening activity. This could
involve setting the context, activating prior knowledge, and introducing key
vocabulary.
Activity Example: Before listening to the story, ask students what they know about
social class and wealth. Introduce the characters and setting of "The Necklace"
briefly. You might also teach or review relevant vocabulary like "dowry," "official," and
"exclusive."
While-Listening: During this phase, students listen to the story. They need to focus
on understanding the main ideas and specific details.
Activity Example: Play an audio recording of the story or read it aloud. Have students
fill out a worksheet with questions such as:
“What is the main problem Madame Loisel faces?”
“How does her husband try to solve the problem?”
“What event causes Madame Loisel to panic at the end of the story?”
Post-Listening: After listening, students reflect on what they’ve heard. This phase
can involve discussion, comprehension checks, and extension activities.
Activity Example: Lead a class discussion about the themes of the story. Ask
students questions like:
“How do you think Madame Loisel felt at different points in the story?”
“What could have been done differently to avoid the story's tragic end?”
Have students write a short paragraph about what they would have done if they were
in Madame Loisel's situation.
