Did you watch the first part of the Delta Module Two seminar that we posted last week? In it I argued that the common pre- while and post- approach to listening and reading was a useful, but not sufficient, strategy for teaching these skills. The seminar then argued that approaching the skills through focusing on the development of subskills is not only a necessary addition but, when the subskills overlap, also often allows us to integrate the teaching of the two skills.
In the second part of this seminar, after summarising the previous part, we look at a lesson that takes this approach, teaching the subskills of a) inferring non-explicitly stated meaning, and b) inferring the meaning of unknown words. It is based around some lesson materials which you can find here : Lesson materials
