done a pre-listening activity and while-listening tasks, and they are ready to
move on to something else. There are ten post-listening activities:
1. Reviewing
The Transcript
Teacher
gives a copy of transcript to students. Then, ask students to underline any
sections of the transcript that they think they understand, and circle any
sections which they don’t understand. After that, ask students to make groups
of four to discuss the parts that they underlined and circled. At the end, ask
students to write on the board any phrase or sentences they still can’t
understand.
2. Quiz
Your Classmate
In
this activities each student got three post-it notes. Review different types of
test questions, such as true or false, multiple choice, short answer, and
fill-in-the-blanks. Ask students to make up three quiz questions based on the
listening track, and each question should use a different type of question.
Students should write one quiz question on each post-it (without the answer).
Also, they need to write their names at the bottom of the post-it. When
everyone finished writing, they need to circulate and give each post-it to a
different student. Then, students try to answer their classmates’ questions,
and return to the best creator for a grade.
3. Quizzing
Teams
Make
one copy of the transcript and divide it into two pairs. In class separate the
class into two teams. Give each team one part of the transcript. One team gets
the first half, and the other team gets the second half. Each team have 15
minutes to came up with 5 very different questions to ask the other team.
Each
team should be sit in different areas, and can’t see the other teams’
transcript. When time’s up, get the teams to take turns reading out their
questions and letting the other team guess the answer. Each team gets 1 point
for each correct answer.

students into pairs. Ask them to take turns recalling one bit of information
from the listening without repeating anything. Challenge students to continue
as long as possible.
5. Discussion

students to compose 3 discussion questions based on the topics that came up
during the listening. After students have been writing circulate and make suggestions
on how they can improve their questions. Latter, choose a few students to write
their best questions on the board. Put students into groups of 3 or 4 to
discuss the questions.

questions, but didn’t answer any. Tell everyone that they are going to have an
opportunity to ask Danny questions, and they don’t have to limit the subject to
clothes. They can ask Danny about anything! Give the class around 10 minutes to
write as many questions as they can think of. Next, put a chair in front of the

questions. After 3 questions, give the student in the chair an opportunity to
choose a new “Danny”. Repeat the activity 5 times.

the class if they know what a spin-off is. Tell them it’s a TV series that is
based on some of the characters or situations from an earlier series. Put students
into pairs and ask them to brainstorm some possible spin-offs from the
dialogue, situations that are suggested by the dialogue. Ask each pair to list
4 or 5 situations. After a few minutes, ask them to read out their ideas, and
write in the board. Aim at getting 6 or 7 spin-off situations up on the board.
