Session 18
April 21
Monday morning!
8:20 and still just 10 people had arrived.

Today's agenda was:
- To identify key factors when teaching listening skills. Sounds intesting.

Harold tricked us into thinking that we were drawing something random, turns out it was not. We listened to this beautiful song called "Tom's Diner" and the drawing we had was the situation of the song.

When were teaching listening skills we must take into account the comprehension of the context, meaning, story, description, among others.

If we want that our students be succesfull in listening we got to involve real-life listening activities such as:
1. No overt response
2. Short responses
3. Longer responses
4. Extended responses.
