LISTENING: Discussion Activity



Your suggestions for listening this month.


Listening choice
This month we're going to explore the TED website: http://ted.com.


Here's what you need to do:


  1. Browse the website looking for recordings you think would be interesting for the class to listen to and discuss.
  2. Choose your top choice and write a Forum posting saying what it is and why you chose it.
  3. Read each other's posts, ask questions and give opinions.
  4. On Friday I will set up a poll and you will vote on which recording you want to listen to.

N.B. You can't vote for the one you recommended.

Once we have the result, I'll post the winner on this Forum.


Listening


Listen to the recording and answer the following questions which I'll post in the forum:

  1. What new words did you learn?
  2. Do you think they're useful?
  3. What do you agree/disagree with?
  4. Why? Name at least one point.

Write your answers in the Forum.
  • If you have problems understanding the recording, post a message on the Forum so that everyone can benefit from the
answer.
