Reflection

Think about the advantages and disadvantages of using the model of pre-, while- and post-
listening activities to teach a listening lesson. Write first from the perspective of the teacher
and then from the perspective of the learners.

Using the three models of listening activities, support the students and help them
improve and succeed at listening, by using such techniques, it could help the student
develop their listening and we can identify where they need to improve.

While on the other hand, applying them in class require much time, because sometimes
you may face technical errors, or the students may not catch up with the audio because
it’s too fast, so it has its disadvantage side as well.
