Incorporating
Oral Materials into language lessons is an effective way to improve students'speaking and listening skills.Here are some strategies to effectively incorporate oral materials into language lessons:
Select authentic and relevant materials:Choose oral materials that are authentic and relevant to the students'level and interests.This could include speeches,interviews,podcasts,radio shows,or even dialogues from movies or TV shows.Authentic materials provide students with exposure to real-life language,which helps them become more competent in the target language.
Pre-teach vocabulary and concepts:Before using the oral materials,pre-teach any difficult vocabulary or concepts that students may encounter.Give students a list of vocabulary words to look out for and discuss their meanings and usage.This helps students understand the oral materials better and improves their comprehension skills.
Provide a purpose for listening:Give students a specific task or purpose for listening to the oral materials.This could be answering comprehension questions,identifying main ideas,summarizing the content,or identifying specific language features such as idioms or expressions.Having a purpose for listening enhances students'engagement and focus on the oral materials.
