Students work in groups to look at little chunks (phrase level) of text from the listening text written up in phonemic script and try to say it out loud and ‘decode’ it. At the higher levels these could be examples of signal language used in the listening to signal opinions, transitions, examples etc.e.g. On the other hand, I believe etc. 
Once they’ve decoded the actual words, they discuss what could follow that phrase. This prepares them to hone in and focus when they hear the signal language at the listening stage.
