‘LISTEING AND DOING’ ACTIVITIES IN THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

This article is about how 'listening and doing' activities help children to acquire English by listening to instructions, to be active and enjoy doing things in English, to use non-verbal clues (e.g. gestures), to interpret meanings, to get used to understanding general meaning, to prepare for spoken interaction, to absorb good pronunciation and intonation patterns. For achieving this aim here are discussed some activities and games for vocabulary development and grammatical awareness as well. For example, ‘Listening and identifying’, ‘Listening and doing - TPR’, ‘Listening and performing – miming’, ‘Listening and responding’ games
