Teaching Listening with Authentic Texts

Dear John, Many thanks for your email and interest in my talk. Regarding the texts, I tend to use one particular text in a talkto illustrate how tasks and activities can be exploited in a variety of different ways and with different texts. I've posted the audio script on this site, and hope that, by looking at this alongside the powerpoint, you'll have a clearer idea of what I was getting at. The 'Viking Mice' text itself, a very short snippet, was taken from a programme on Radio Bristol FM. You might also find my handout from TESOL-Spain 2013, and an article I wrote on the topic, 'Authentic Listening Step by Step', also available on the site, under talks and articles respectively. Finally, I haven't written up the talk in full yet, but thanks for nudging me! With very best wishes, Annie
