Listening Comprehension - Modern Family 1x02

This is a listening comprehension for the 2nd episode of the first season of the TV show Modern Family. Formatting and the answer key will make your life easier. Simply print and photocopy the evaluation. I have created listening comprehensions for other episodes of the first season of Modern Family. It is therefore perfect to assess the progression of a student’s learning. In addition, the level of difficulty progresses as the season advances. Total pages: 5 answer key included notes from my past experiences and my applied linguistics studies if this evaluation is intended for ESL/EFL learners: Linguistics and language acquisition studies show that active listening, such as completing a listening comprehension evaluation, benefits ESL learners much more than passive listening. It gives their listening a purpose and focuses students on trying to figure out the words and meaning. According to language learning studies, the use of authentic material (meant for first language) provides more benefits than adapted material. If possible, do not use subtitles when presenting a TV show or movie. My experience has shown me that students focus too much on reading the subtitles instead of trying to listen for understanding. Students may feel overwhelmed the first time but they will gain in confidence over time. If there is a possibility, try to have each student watch and answer the listening comprehension individually. Provide them with a time frame as to when they must have completed the evaluation and returned it to the teacher. This way you are certain to evaluate their listening skills and not their abilities to listen and write all at once. It also helps students with learning difficulties.

Reading Comprehension - A Scandal in Bohemia (Penguin Readers)

(0)
A reading comprehension for the Penguin Readers book A Scandal in Bohemia by Arthur Conan Doyle. Books from Penguin Readers are adapted for English learners (ESL or EFL) and categorized by levels (from 1 to 6). For more information, go to www.penguinreaders.com. The Penguin Readers’ version of A Scandal in Bohemia and Other Stories is a 3: Pre-Intermediate (1,200 words) book. Total pages: 10 Answer key included I used the activity sheets available on the Penguin Readers’ teacher website, adapted it and made it into a user-friendly test. You just need to print, photocopy and bring to class. These tests are not available to students on the Penguin Readers’ website. You need to have a teacher account to access these worksheets. My test includes room for students to write their answers, the identification of the chapters when it applies, and is on 60 points, and therefore easy for teachers to assess their students’ understanding. Even though, it is adapted and not authentic English material, I swear by Penguin Readers for all my classes because for most ESL or EFL students, it is the only way they can read classics of the English Literature. I find it important for students to learn not only the English language but the English culture. And let’s face it, literature is a big part of any culture.
