The language-­‐focused activity asks students to listen for and record discreet vocabulary items in the song and to then analyze the pronunciation qualities of the target words as they hear them. This activity assumes students have some prior basic knowledge of pronunciation concepts such as counting syllables in a word and identifying primary word stress.\u003Cbr>This activity also reflects listening fluency-­‐building principles. Students perform supported listening, simultaneously using audio and written texts. Students are also exposed to the listening text more than once.\u003Cbr>Ladin’s song “Into the Garden” celebrates the joys of growing and eating fresh vegetables and fruits. It also emphasizes being grateful for the things a healthy earth can provide for us. These themes make this listening activity a good fit in lessons related to food, health, agriculture, or the environment. Teachers can create similar activities using listening texts related to topics in their curriculum that contain the essential vocabulary items.\u003Cbr>LEVEL |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Upper intermediate and above | LANGUAGE FOCUS |\n| Listening, vocabulary, and pronunciation | GOALS |\n| Students will:\u003Cbr>• Listen for and record fruit-­‐ and vegetable-­‐related vocabulary items in a short audio text\u003Cbr>• Listen to the target vocabulary words again to identify the number of syllables and the primary stressed syllable in each word\u003Cbr>• Sort the target words using a stress pattern chart for pronunciation awareness and oral practice\u003Cbr>MATERIALS |  |\n\n• Teacher:  \no Whiteboard, chalkboard, or large pieces of paper posted on the wall  \no Markers or chalk  \no “Into the Garden” audio clip ( . mp3 – 0:55)  \no Audio player (computer, tablet, mobile phone with speakers)  \no Vocabulary Listening Cloze and Word Stress Chart – Answers ( . pdf)  \n[americanenglish.state.gov](americanenglish.state.gov)  \n• Students:  \no Pencils or pens, blank writing paper  \no Vocabulary Listening Cloze and Word Stress Chart ( . pdf)  \nPREPARATION  \n\n| •\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>• | Download, test, and preview the audio clip on your audio playing device. Confirm the volume will be loud enough for the entire class to hear.\u003Cbr>Review the fruit and vegetable vocabulary in the Listening Cloze. Determine which words, if any, will need to be pre-­‐taught or reviewed before the activity.\u003Cbr>Review the stress and pronunciation of the target words in the Word Stress Chart; if needed, practice reading them aloud to ensure you are comfortable with their pronunciation.\u003Cbr>Copy or print out the Listening Vocabulary Cloze and Word Stress Charts, ideally making enough copies for each student to have his/her own copy of each. To save paper, use two-­‐sided printing and/or have students share one copy of each page per pair.\u003Cbr>PROCEDURES |\n| --- | --- |\n\n1. Tell students they are going to listen to a clip (a short, incomplete piece) from Zach Ladin’s song“Into the Garden.” Explain that they will need to listen carefully to identify and write down missing vocabulary words in a printed copy of the song’s lyrics. ( Note: it is helpful, but not required, to complete this activity after the class has listened to the entire song and identified its key themes and main ideas. )  \n2. Pre-­‐teach or review any target fruit and vegetable vocabulary items that you identified during the activity preparation stage.  \n3. Ask student volunteers to pass out the Vocabulary Listening Cloze. (If you used two-­‐sided copies with both handouts on one piece of paper, ask students to only look at the Listening Cloze side during the first part of the activity; the Word Stress Chart lists the missing words in the cloze.)  \n4. Tell students that as they listen to the audio clip, they should try to fill in the missing fruit and vegetable vocabulary word","cbCaivgLr8XCf5wo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivgLr8XCf5wo","pdf",89177,"English","# LANGUAGE FOCUS\n## GOALS\n# MATERIALS\n# PREPARATION\n# PROCEDURES","[{\"question\":\"What do students do during the listening cloze step?\",\"answer\":\"Students listen to an audio clip from “Into the Garden” and fill in missing fruit- and vegetable-related vocabulary words in a printed cloze of the song lyrics.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students determine syllables and primary word stress?\",\"answer\":\"Students listen again to the target words, count the number of syllables, and identify the primary stressed syllable as the one with the vowel that is longest, loudest, and strongest.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the word stress chart?\",\"answer\":\"Students use the chart to sort the target vocabulary according to pronunciation features—specifically, syllable count and the location of the stressed syllable—to support oral practice.\"}]","VOCABULARY LISTENING CLOZE AND WORD STRESS CHART - Into the Garden | PDF",1790586979]
