    ACTIVITY 2

    ELT 5: Teaching Assessment of Macro Skills


    Submitted by: Bryan D. Flores
    BSED 2A

    Discussion Questions
    1. Characterize each of the three communicative listening modes: bidirectional, unidirectional, and
    auto directional. From your own personal experience, give examples of each of these three kinds
    of communicative listening.

    - Bidirectional needs two or more participants that has to take turns in exchanging their roles
    (speaker and the listener role). There is an exchanging of information that is happening, and the
    perfect example here can be a telephone conversation between two people, ordering a meal in a
    fast-food restaurant to a cashier.

    - Unidirectional is only a one-way mode of listening mode that means your source can come from
    a variety of sources which an example could be an overheard conversations or recorded messages
    where you cannot actually interact with the main source of the sound. (There is no exchange of
    information that happened).

    - Auto directional Listening Mode is the kind of listening mode that I commonly use everyday
    because there is always something that is running up in my mind and there is a self-dialogue
    communication where we re-create language internally. A perfect example is talking to yourself
    in front of a mirror or maybe having a self a self-conversation with yourself in your mind.

    2. Discuss why listening has been called “the neglected skill of language teaching.”

    - Because back in the days, listening was not really getting attention in terms of why, how, it is
    important to our lives. I think they should give more attention in Language listening because it
    can improve our Aural Comprehension skills and I think most people lack this thing.

    3. For three days, keep a record of how much time you spend each day in each of the four skill
    areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, in small groups, make a composite of the times
    recorded for each of the four language skills.
    - The four macro skills differ in times of used depending on what day of the week is it. If I am
    going to class on Mondays, my class is only three hours, so I will usually spend my time listening
    for the whole three hours in that day, when in comes to speaking, it will depend on if I have a
    report in class, if I have a report, most probably it is going to be one hour long. When it comes to
    reading, I read most of the time in school, and in writing, I just write when I want to or when I
    need to write some important notes. Those things that I have mentioned are just the things that is
    happening in school, but most of the time when I am not at school, my most used macro skill is
    listening and speaking.

    4. Review the three principles of materials development discussed in this chapter. Give examples of
    ways they can be implemented in listening lessons.

    - Relevance means to be relevant; the speaker must have the ability to make its audiences or
    listeners want to listen and by doing that, the topic must have something to relate to the listeners.
    It must have this connection between the speaker and the listener in order to make them want to
    listen. The content must be motivational and genuine.

    5. Discuss the differences between interactional language use and transactional language use. Give
    examples from your personal experience and compare them with those given by others in your
    class.

    - Interactional is more person oriented or can be called a “social-type” talk because it establishes
    cordial social relationship. Transactional Language can be called “business-type” talk because it
    is used when giving instructions, explaining, or describing something and etc. An example from
    my personal experience in Transactional is listening to my cousin’s instruction when it is my first
    time building a GUNPLA Gundam mobile suit figure. In Interactional is listening very closely to
    a friend who is ranting about his/her life in order to know what kind of advice I may give.
