Reflections on Observation Task 2: Reading a Story in the Local UAE
Preschool
• What preparation (i.e. pre-listening activity) did the teacher give the
learners before they listened to the text?
She showed the children the pictures of the stars and she had a discussion with them
about the stars
If they had some preparation, select (a) if they did not, select (b).
• Were the learners engaged in while-listening activity/activities? If they were, select (a);
if they were not, select (b).
• How many times did the learners listen to the text / recording?
Think about the advantages and disadvantages of using the model of pre-, while- and
post-listening activities to teach a listening lesson. Write first from the perspective of the
teacher and then from the perspective of the learners.
The advantages from the perspective of the teacher is that she helps the student to
develop their listening skills and it gives them the opportunity to share their ideas.
The disadvantages from the perspective of the teacher is that the teacher might waste
time and she can’t cover the curriculum
The advantage from the perspective of the learners is that it let the children engaged and it
grow their curiosity, it let the children interested and focussed.
The disadvantages from the perspective of the learners is that the learners may have a
difficulty in not knowing what will the speaker going to talk about and they may not focus
on some words that would help them to know what is the speaker talking about.
