Description¶
A listening teaching model in which the teacher mainly gives learning aims, assignments and methods while students learn independently inside and outside the classroom and attend the final examination. The article identifies three ways of carrying it out (web courses, radio broadcasting, language labs) and chose language labs because students there have the greatest control. Students gain control over "the length of listening", pace, speed, way, place and material of listening, with the teacher checking results through questions, quizzes and tests.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- A teacher still gives short lectures on listening skills and assigns compulsory and optional tasks
- Digital devices or equipment allowing students to change delivery speed and choose materials
Constraints¶
- In the web-course and radio-broadcasting variants, students still have little control of pace, way, speed and material
Target Learners¶
- second-year non-English major university students in China
Learning Goals¶
- EFL listening comprehension
- learner autonomy
Claims¶
- Zero Class Hour Equivalent To Traditional Listening Gains [+M]
- Learner Control Increases Listening Practice Time [+M]
