Listening for comprehension might involve: filling in a grid, drawing a picture or a chart, ranking and rating, adding/refuting; listening for perception might invilve ticking off particular grammar or lexis, rarrangement, etc.

3. Which class modes prevail? (T-ST., ST.-CLASS, ST-ST., MINIGROUP-ST., MINI-MINI, others?)

4. Instructions for speech activities: write out 3 you consider the best; find examples of obscure, vague instructions. Reformulate them.

5. Find examples of ‘conversation killers’.

6. Find examples of tasks/activities which stimulate logical connected speech and those which encourage one sentence formal responses only.
