ESOL Lr/E1.2e Listen & extract key information

Listen and extract key information (see also Sc/E1.3b) (i) be aware that it is not necessary to understand and remember every word to extract information (ii) understand the importance of knowing in advance what one is listening for, and be able to disregard other information

This resource is based on the DfES ESOL Skills for Life recording 'Buying a ticket'. It gives exam practice questions (C&G style) in the first section and in the second section an activity to enable learners to tune in to the sounds of English. The first section can be completed in class and the second at home or the whole sheet can be given for homework. Listening development at home enables learners to listen as often as they wish and tune in until they hear the text more clearly.
