There are eight jobs that English teachers have in common when conducting a listening lessons:
1. A tailor: the listening **** must fit the class just as a suit or dress must fit the its wearer.
2. A stand-up comedian: or perhaps a storyteller. The teacher is often the best source of input.
3. A sleuth: before class the teacher needs to be able to analyze the language in a recording as closely as Sherlock Homes analyzed clues. These are the types of questions to ask: will my students understand this idiom? Can they deal with the variety of verb tenses here? Will they be able to decode all the contractions in this passage? Do they need to? Will they get the joke?
4. An engineer: when using recordings, the teacher needs a working knowledge of the way which the equipment works and more pertinently the way in which the equipment sometimes doesn’t work.
5. A spy: while the students are listening, the teacher should be watching their hands and faces. Are the students writing the answers? Do they look confused? Who is nodding intelligently? Why is one student looking at the wrong page?
6. A doctor: teachers need to be experts at diagnosis. What went wrong? Why? Was it the speed, the vocabulary, the accent, the topic?
7. A firefighter: if everything goes wrong and the listening passage is too difficult, the teacher needs to get everyone out of trouble, just as a firefighter might lead the way to safety.
8. A tour guide: teachers can point out what's interesting (the piece of spoken grammar, this bit of slang, the metaphor that occurs in the students' mother tongue) and ignore everything that isn't. And, like a tour guides, they should make sure everybody is with them before moving on.
