PROCEDURE
STAGE 1 – PRE-LISTENING ACTIVITIES
Before listening, the teacher asks some questions to get students’ attention by saying
“Watching movies is an enjoyable free-time activity whether you’re going to the movies or
renting a DVD online to watch at home. Many people go to the movies to relax and enjoy
their favorite pictures. What kinds of movies do you like to see and why? Do you buy any
snacks at the concession stand at the movie theater? Why or why not?” Then, the teacher
shows two movie posters and asks some questions to students about what they think about
these movies.

STAGE 2 – LISTENING ACTIVITIES
First Activity
The teacher gives some information about what will they listen and shows a video to
the students. This video belongs to a movie and they watch one part. Then teacher, pause the
video and asks students what it is about and wants them to guess what will happen next.
Students talk about the possibilities with their friends and the teacher shows another part. He
or she, pause the video again and asks what it is about and what will happen next.
Second Activity
The teacher shows some pictures to students and puts them on the board. Then he/she
wants them to listen to a video which is related to a movie. Then he/she gives some numbers
to the pictures. The teacher gives some information about what will they listen. Students listen
to the video twice. And then they try to guess the numbers of the pictures, because every
picture is related to an event which happens in the movie like a scene. Maybe students are
divided into groups. The teacher gives some names to groups. They try to find answers
together. Every group chooses a volunteer to answer the questions.
Third Activity
Actually, this is my favorite activity. Firstly the teacher divides students into groups
which include 6 people. He/she puts a hula hoop at the center of the class. The teacher gives
some information about what will they listen. Then they listen to a conversation which is a
part of the movie. Then the teacher shows some cards which includes some questions about
the listening. In this competition, first they listen to the video, and then they choose a group
volunteer. The teacher reads the questions out loud and the students run to the hula hoop to
answer the question. The one who jumps into hula hoop first, answer the question first. At the
end of the competition, this time they watched that part of the movie and can see their
mistakes.
STAGE 3 – POST-LISTENING ACTIVITIES
The teacher gives students some worksheets. The students are divided into pairs and
they listen to the conversation and answer the questions on worksheets. At the end of the
lesson the teacher asks students to discuss what types of movies they like and dislike and
explain their reasons with a partner or in a group and decide whether they would recommend
these movies to their friends.
