Reflection
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 advantage for this model for the teacher is that every step helps the teacher to make her
lesson organized and its goes smoothly from first step to the last step. And the disadvantage is
that its take time to do this steps for the listening activity.
The advantage for this model for the learners is that they will understand smoothly the listening
tasks. And the disadvantage is that some of the students cant get use to the method which is
effected on the students and they cant to follow up with the others students and the teacher.
