listening exercise

 
TASK 2

You are going to prepare a listening exercise which will firstly train listening for gist, then move on to develop listening for detail.

Because we have already mentioned the importance of using authentic materials, your task is this:

1. Record the news from: (a) the radio OR (b) as a podcast from a website. Ideally you need a 2-3 minute bulletin with at least 8 different news items. Make a written transcript of the broadcast.

2. Set a pre-question for your students, to prepare them for the listening session.

3. Make a list of at least 12 general topic areas, such as ‘politics’,
‘sport’, ‘famous personalities’ etc.

4. Formulate a task for the first listening. At this stage, your students will have to identify which of the12 topics are mentioned and which are not. It is therefore important to have some distractors in your list. To make it more challenging, ask students to number them in the order in which they are mentioned.

5. For the second listening, you could use a range of question types to
focus students on one or two sections of the news to help develop
the skills of listening for detail.

6. Decide on ONE topic in the news recording that you think is
interesting and make a few suggestions on how you might develop it
with a class.

So TASK 2 is:

– record the news and transcribe it
– set a pre-question to arouse interest in the recording
– make a list of 12 general topics and set a task to practice listening for
gist.
– write 2 different types of exercise to practise listening for detail
on one or two sections of the text avoiding very short exercises and
questions that require difficult names or simple numbers as answers.
– suggest one way that you could extend or develop one topic in the
broadcast

NB DO NOT send your recording. You must include a transcript of the news and your exercises, but NOT THE RECORDING.

Movie Report

 
Students will watch one of the movies listed below and write a 700-word report. Some of the films are available free on youtube, others about $3.00 dollars on amazon.com instant video store. If you want to watch a film not on the list, contact the instructor for approval.
In this report, you will first detail what kind(s) of stereotype(s), prejudice, AND discrimination (the 3 components of bias) is involved in the film. For example, is it the bias against one’s race? Gender? Sexual orientation? Social class? Or others? What is the stereotype(s), attitude(s), and behavior(s) associate with the bias? You can also explain, if proper, the explicit vs. implicit prejudice shown in the film. This part should be 100 words or more.
Second, you will examine the potential reasons of the bias. Why do the perpetrators do what they do? Is it because of the social contexts they are in? The process of socialization? Peer pressure? Self-defense? Their personality? Or else? Also, how much is the bias justified? Be sure to apply the concepts from the textbook and/or Allport’s book (therefore, cite the textbook and/or Allport’s book, but make sure do not directly quote the book—paraphrase instead). This part should be 300 words or more.
Finally, discuss the consequences or possible consequences of the bias on the victims. Go in depth and analyze the psychological and/or physical impacts of bias on them AND on others around them. Also, how will the community or even the society potentially be influenced by the bias? This part should be 300 words or more.
The film list
1. Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) (free on youtbue)
2. Remember The Titans (2000) (available on amazon.com)
3. Erin Brockovich (2000) (available on amazon.com)
4. Hotel Rwanda (2004) (free on youtube)
5. Good Morning Vietnam (1987) (free on youtube)
6. First Blood (1982) (available on amazon.com)
7. The Help (2011) (available on amazon.com)
8. Crash (2004) (available on amazon.com)
9. Boys Don’t Cry (1999) (available on amazon.com)
10. Pride and Prejudice (2005) (available on amazon.com)
Also:
1. For this paper, no references are required. However, if you have references from peer-reviewed journals, that will increase the likelihood of a good grade.
Important issues:
1. Length: make sure you meet the requirement
3. IMPORTANT: Do NOT directly quote from any articles. Paraphrase instead. If I see another direct quote I’ll deduct a great deal of points.
4. Even if you have cited a study, you CANNOT copy-and-paste any content from that study like it is your idea.
5. ABSOLUTELY NO INTERNET SOURCES. This should be a scientific report, NOT Dr. Phil’s talk.
6. Whatever studies you have cited in your paper MUST be in your reference list.

Coates Book Analysis/Critique

The book analysis, 5-7 pages, is a critical review of Coates, “Between the World and Me” book. Though you should include a brief summary of the book at the beginning of your paper, your primary task will be to identify and critically discuss salient issues from the text and link those issues to issues raised in other readings. The approach to the paper can be interdisciplinary, that is, you may draw upon knowledge obtained in other subjects (classes) if that information is relevant to the text. However it is expected that your analysis will reflect a thorough understanding of course readings. In all cases, you are expected to consult and utilize secondary sources relevant to the analysis of the chosen text. Finally, your paper must adhere to APA format guidelines.
