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.]]> 2020-10-06 10:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806182232 geminianne620 https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806182519 Do listening practice which is in the form of multiple choices with students and check the answers with students.

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. ]]> 2020-10-06 10:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806183403 https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806183913 Difficult to find the suitable material]]> 2020-10-06 10:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806183913 https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806184002 Students in Hong Kong are familiar with British accents  or American accents.

The biggest challenge is students try to listen and understand every word instead of identifying the important words they need to pay attention to. ]]> 2020-10-06 10:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806184056 https://padlet.com/moonyoungpark/6ap5b1o3489c/wish/806184459 1.

(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

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.

We’ll check the answers with our students after playing the listening audios. 
2) Some students find that the spelling part will be difficult.
