LISTENING ACTIVITY: FOCUS ON VIDEO This is an activity that consists of playing a video and then asking our students to recall it and write down the main ideas. This activity allows the student to listen to the audio and see the context at once. So they can make an association of both and stay focused on the objective. The video would be focused on a topic but with a varied context, something that draws attention but is not out of focus. For example: if the teacher is teaching relative clauses, she/he might play a scene from a series of student preferences that include a variety of these in the dialogue, depending on the length. The students would then be asked to collect the main ideas using their relatives. The context should not be lost, and the central theme should be maintained.
Fast Supermarket! Students have flashcards of different products they buy at the supermarket. One student makes a phone call to his/her classmate and starts ordering the products he wants to buy. His partner must listen carefully and select all bought products. After it, check if the order is complete and check the missing products.
