If I am teaching listening skills, then I do not give out the transcript (if I have one) until the end of the class.
I treat it much as I would treat a new reading passage, we do some warm up, talking about the topic, bringing in vocab that might come up. Then we might do some kind of prediction activity--like I might do a silent viewing or just play the introduction, something like that. Then move to something based on main points of the passage, anything from true /false to IDing significant numbers or names, places, putting events in order. It depends on what they are listening to and their level. Next maybe more details, perhaps some gap fills based on key vocab and work on guessing meaning from context. The detailed exercises should help the students to ID and understand the main and supporting points of the script, and to train them to take notes.
I like to end with some kind of general note-taking to prepare a summary of the main points which can be either written or spoken.
Then, finally, I would give the transcript and if I am feeling generous, I may play the tape or vid one more time to let them follow along. I always tell my class that a transcript is very rare since there are no transcripts in real life and to take it and study it.
I love teaching listening, it is so much fun and opens up the possibilities for so much creativity. |
Finally, someone with a similar approach. 
Is there a point where you say, "OK everyone, get out your dictionaries and let's start again in 15 minutes?"
