, Activity 1: What to expect in Part 2 – completing a table
Material: Worksheet 1
Time: 10-15 minutes
Procedure:
• introduce the focus of the lesson – Listening Part 2.
• elicit what students already know about this part of the Listening test.
• give out Worksheet 1 and tell students to work alone to complete the row about
Part 2 (Exercise 1).
• put students into pairs to compare answers and complete the rest of the
discussion questions.
• get class feedback.
• clarify for students that in table completion tasks in IELTS listening, there are row
or column headings which tell the test taker the TYPE of information they are
looking for. Draw attention to these in Exercise 1. Also elicit how other examples
e.g. the info about the other parts of the test, help to provide a model of how to
complete the gaps.
• elicit ideas for Exercise 3 in open class
Answers
Exercise 1
Part Number of Themes Is there a break in the middle?
Speakers
2 1 Social/everyday Yes
Exercise 2
Students’ own. How is Part 2 relevant to life/work in an English speaking country?
Survival skills, e.g. ability to follow basic social transactional conversations; ability to
understand necessary info when given information – times of trains, prices and tickets
etc.
Exercise 3
Similarities: all answers are in sequential order; some language around the gaps is
paraphrased but the answer must be exactly the same; you have examples of the type of
answer you need to write; answers are single words/short phrases, not full sentences.
Differences: The main difference is the way information is laid out.
In Note Completion, as the gaps follow a vertical order, they may be slightly easier to
follow.
