When I arrived to Mr. Rios’ listening class, it was
quiz day. He asked me to introduce myself and then had the students get into
groups and write sentences on their own. These sentences had occasional blanks
in them so that they could be used as class exercises in grammar. He then
collected the papers and had all of the students try to fill in the correct
word or verb tense by projecting the class made exercises on the board. Shortly
after he had the students take out a sheet of paper so that they could take
their quiz. He had them number their papers and then began to recite words so
that the students could write down their answers—with the hope that they would
spell everything correctly.
Once the class was over, I asked Mr. Rios if he had
any teaching tools that he could recommend for auditory listeners. He recommended
dictation, recordings of conversation, writing in full sentences, and Randall’s
Cyber ESL Café.
