Answer to Question #227033 in English for Thandeka

Question

Compare and discuss in detail the three listening phases by indicating in which listening
phase sorting, classifying, questioning, associating, criticizing and making conclusions take
place.

Answer 1

Pre-listening phase is the first stage where preparatory work is done. Learner do various activities before a listening activity in order to prepare for listening such as associating and sorting.

The while-listening stage is where students listen and do a task. Many course books feature tasks such as questioning and classifying.

A post-listening activity represents a follow up to the listening activity and aims to utilize the knowledge gained from listening for the development of other skills such as speaking or writing. This is where criticizing and making conclusions take place.
