1) We always ask students to do the exercises in the forms of fill-in-blanks and multiple choices. We’ll check the answers with our students after playing the listening audios.
2) Some students find that the spelling part will be difficult. Sometimes they need to use the correct form of words/ parts of speech.

Challenge: exams and exercises all follow the TSA format- which means using multiple choice questions. Students don’t even listen. They only make guesses randomly.

Students in Hong Kong are familiar with British accents  or American accents. If they recording is in Other country’s accent , it might not show their listening ability.
The speed of Conversations or news report could be different too

# data[].attributes.body
Students are asked to listen to some conversation and answer MC questions. If the questions are asked directly, some of them may catch the answers. However, if the questions are complicated, which need students to check every opinion or conclude the information, they are quite weak. Since they don’t know much vocabulary and don’t get used to jot notes. Even the teachers keep on teaching them how to jot notes, they still are lazy to do that.

Finish publisher’s listening exercise and check the answers of students. Ask students to explain their answers. (Eg. Why did they choose that answer? Which key word did they hear?)

# data[].attributes.body
Do listening practice which is in the form of multiple choices with students and check the answers with students. May show the transcript and explain some difficult ones.

We do listening practice in class and teachers check the answers with students. The biggest challenge is students try to listen and understand every word instead of identifying the important words they need to pay attention to.

1. I used the publisher's listening exercise and checked the answers with students. I asked students to show their answers by putting up signs of ABCD so that I knew how well they did. 2. There seems not many practical skills that I can teach students. Observing students performance makes me know what types of questions they get stuck.

1.
(i) Ss are able to listen to the instructions to react and respond
(ii) Ss are able to hear the key ideas of a dialogue
2.
(i) Ss hear the word, but they cannot spell it
(ii) Ss are reluctant to listen to English for more than 15 mins
(iii) the different pace, accent and intonation within a conversation. Ss cannot manage so many things

I last assessed  listening through dictation practice.the biggest challenge in assessing listening has to do with how to decide the amount and kind of input we need to provide students with.

Students just listen to the audio and answer the questions. Time allocated for teaching listening is not enough.

We adapted some exercises from the publishers to assess listening. The biggest challenge: Only MCQs - students could guess the answers. Ts couldn’t tell if they could really hear and understand the audio recordings.

To supplement with listening textbooks, I try to use a news broadcast, speech eg Ted Talk to access students on their listening. The biggest challenge would be the accent and perhaps the speed native speeches are delivered. Students find it challenging without subtitles. In terms of teaching, I basically teach students to gain the main gist and sometimes try to reproduce the summary from their understanding.

For me, I just finished the listening tasks in the textbook in today’s lesson. Some students just randomly picked an answer for the multiple choices questions. They couldn’t get the gist in the recording.
