This assignment addresses the TESOL Unit 6 curriculum, focusing on teaching listening skills to ESL students. It begins with an analysis of a case study involving a businessman and identifies five relevant listening tasks within his routine. The assignment then delves into the specific listening skills involved in two of these tasks, and proposes authentic texts (a BBC radio program and the game Trivial Pursuit) to help the businessman develop these skills. Furthermore, it outlines tasks to assess the businessman's comprehension of the listening materials. The assignment also explores potential difficulties faced by ESL learners in listening comprehension, providing strategies to overcome issues related to distinguishing sounds and cultural backgrounds. It emphasizes the importance of explicit cues, vocabulary preview, and student interaction to improve listening skills. The document highlights the significance of bottom-up processing and provides practical examples to enhance language comprehension.
