Reading and Listening LessonsReceptive skills work
Can focus on mirco-skills or subskills
Can focus on strategies
Coursebooks use graded texts
Lend themselves to authentic texts
Tend to have a similar procedural template / lesson shape
Teacher silence
Often seen as easy lessons for the teacher
Students don’t always perceive value (wasted time?)

Question!
How many times should you play a recording?
