    This document outlines a structured approach to extensive listening called "Listening Circles" designed for intermediate English learners. It involves assigning students to groups to listen to authentic English materials outside of class such as podcasts and videos. Students complete weekly homework logs noting vocabulary, ideas, and pronunciation features. In class, they discuss their logs and complete worksheets to share ideas. The goal is to expose students to a variety of speakers and structures while providing support through note-taking guidance and discussion. Sources suggested include TED Talks, podcasts, and shows that relate to textbook content and vary in speed and difficulty.
