TOEIC Listening Activity: Answering Yes / No Questions Indirectly - MyShare
TOEIC listening section requires test takers to answer a variety of questions. One type of question that students must be able to listen to and answer correctly are Yes/No questions. In this MyShare presentation, I would like to share an activity that is useful for beginner level students who need to become familiar with alternative ways to answer Yes/No questions without using Yes/No. During the presentation, I will describe the activity and share my experience of using this in a TOEIC class for students who are currently scoring below 500.

Creating and Using Bottom-Up Listening Activities
A vast majority of textbooks today contain only top-down listening lessons and activities. Although research has shown that there is merit to include some bottom-up instruction, many books lack those kinds of activities. In this MyShare, the speaker will share his experiences supplementing his lessons with bottom-up listening activities. Attendees will walk away with new ideas (and some examples) of how to use bottom-up listening instruction in their classroom.

Using Music to Raise Awareness of Syllable Structure in English
English pronunciation can be a big challenge for Japanese students due to the complex syllable structure (e.g. consonant clusters) of many English words. This MyShare will focus on how music can be utilized as a teaching tool to help raise student awareness and understanding of the syllable structure of English. A multi-step music project in which students practice analyzing syllables in songs and produce their own English songs will be shared.
