This lesson focused on enhancing students’ ability to recognize and understand colloquial expressions in real-world contexts. By incorporating tools like Youglish, which provides video examples of words and phrases in use, and ChatGPT for interactive dialogues and clarification, the lesson offered a dynamic and engaging approach to listening practice.

Students responded with enthusiasm and showed high levels of participation. They were particularly interested in the real-life applications of colloquial expressions and appreciated the variety of examples provided. The digital tools helped them visualize and contextualize phrases, making the learning experience more memorable.

Strengths:

Effective use of digital tools to support listening comprehension.

High student engagement and interaction.

Clear connection between lesson content and real-world language use.

Overall, this was a well-executed lesson that successfully introduced students to colloquial English in an interactive and student-centered way.

1. The best part of the sharing session was discovering new apps such as youglish as a teaching and learning assistant to help with listening comprehension.

2. One concern in teaching colloquial language is that most students may not have the right socio-cultural background to make sense of what some expressions may mean.

3. The SS has enabled me to see some concerns and strategies to be considered in developing lessons on the use of colloquial language in spoken texts.

The lesson sharing by the AIMS group was impressive and something new to be explored. It gave a new way of teaching approach for listening skills instead of the usual traditional method.

Aligned with the digital age, I personally agree with the integration of listening lessons with digital learning tools like YouGlish/ ChatGPT etc. It significantly enhances student engagement and motivation. It also offers personalised learning paths, and immediate feedback. This leads to improved comprehension, better retention, and increased confidence in understanding spoken language.

Overall, the TD-BU Model introduced by the group has given a clearer understanding on conducting an effective listening lesson focusing of informal conversational language (colloquial language). This teaching model/ approach is applicable to intermediate and advance learners in a classroom too. I do believe, teaching colloquialisms can make me feel like a bit of a mystery, especially to someone learning a new language or encountering a different dialect which is far away from the Malaysian context. However, that makes learning English fun and interesting!

I am glad and feel grateful to be part of the team as I could learn many things throughout the process. The lesson study is an eye opener for me to teach listening skills and colloquial language with vigorous help of digital tools that can be explored by myself and my students. I hope that the sharing session may benefit all of you in many ways too.

2. My concern would be students inability to identify with the socio-cultural background of the speakers so perhaps teachers may select videos that closely resemble students ' own background 3. The SS has given me fresh insight with what i can offer for my listening classes and take consideration of top down and bottom up approach. Tq Madeline and team!
