Reflection
Think about the advantages and disadvantages of using the model of pre-, while- and post-
listening activities to teach a listening lesson. Write first from the perspective of the teacher
and then from the perspective of the learners.

Teachers in listening lesson use the model of pre-, while and post listening activities
because its an organising model and its an advantage of the model for the teacher to
organize the lesson first the student will listen than do and the disadvantages that there
are many different learn style, so teacher should make an activity aappropriate the whole
class. Its helpful for the student to understand the lesson first and it engaged for the other
steps. Some student will find it difficult while they do the activity, so it should from the
teacher go around the class and help them.
