Introductions Spanish Listening Activities

These activities were created to assist Novice language learners in developing skills related to ACTFL modes of communication, with an emphasis on the mode of interpretive listening in the context of Spanish greetings and introductions.

The activities that accompany the audio recordings were created to allow teachers to easily differentiate and target specific skills.

“E” Activities – these activities are presented in English and focus on students being able to demonstrate comprehension of the audio sample.

“S” Activities – these activities are presented in Spanish and ask students to respond in Spanish. They will allow students to improve presentational writing and/or speaking skills (if done orally) as well as aural recognition of vocabulary.

“A” Activities – these activities focus on using context to predict word meanings and general vocabulary knowledge.

“B” Activities – these activities focus on making inferences about the person or situation presented in the audio samples.

“C” Activities – these activities, presented in English, assist students in making cultural connections to the information presented in the audio sample.
