Tips

Listening

Each part is heard twice in the exam.

Part 1 Tips

Students look at a picture with different people doing various activities. There are seven names around the edge (all names feature in the YLE wordlists). Students listen to a dialogue about the different people in the picture and draw a line from the names to the appropriate people. There is one name they do not need to use.

Test focus: listening for lexical items and phrases

Teaching tip

Find pictures (which are appropriate to Flyers level) showing people in different situations. Get students to work in pairs. One student makes statements about the people in the pictures and the other decides whether this information is correct or incorrect. Alternatively, give students a photocopy of a basic scene, e.g. a shopping street, the countryside, etc. and give them instructions about where to draw different people into the scene, describing the people, their clothes and their position in the picture. You should have the ‘correct’ version of the picture which shows the people you have been describing. Then ask students to compare their picture with yours.

Tips for the test

• Listen carefully for the clues telling you which person matches which name, e.g. there may be two people doing the same thing but only one, for example, is wearing a jacket.

• You must draw a line from the names while you listen to one long conversation. Make sure that the line you draw is straight and very clear to see.

Part 2 Tips

Students complete a form, e.g. an invitation or a notebook, prompted by words provided from the wordlists. They listen and fill in missing words on the form.

Test focus: basic information e.g. lexical items, personal information, making arrangements

Teaching tip

Get pairs of students to write mini-dialogues using words from the wordlist. Check the dialogues and get the students to record them. Ask the students to write out their dialogues leaving gaps for nouns, names and numbers, if possible. Get students to swap dialogues and try to complete each other’s exercises.

You could also try writing a list of people’s names and different places on the board. Make sure the words are similar and contain letters which can cause confusion for students, e.g. ‘y’ and ‘i’. Spell some of the names and get students to write down the words you’re spelling. Then do the exercise again without the words on the board to help them.

Tips for the test

• Look carefully at the missing information before you listen, so that you know what information you have to listen for. Be careful – sometimes the people talking on the recording will change or correct the information, so listen to everything to say. Make sure you write the correct information.

• Make sure you know your alphabet and numbers well. You often have to write a name which will be spelt out for you. You may also have to write the numbers (digits, not words) for a telephone number.
