ESOL Lr/L1.2a Listen to an explanation or narrative
- recognise context and be aware that it is not always necessary to understand every word in order to do so
- be aware that explanations, narratives and instructions often follow predictable patterns, and use this understanding to predict content
Example: Note the discourse structure of an anecdote, e.g.: • establish location and key players • describe events in sequence • end with ‘punch line’ or narrator’s reaction
