Resources to use with the New to ESOL listening activities.
These listening resources have been designed for use with New to ESOL learners. Each section of the listening resources corresponds to one of the units in the original New to ESOL materials.
The pack consists of five sections, each closely linked to the five topics in the New to ESOL teaching materials. Each section is based around a text and focuses on certain aspects of phonics which can help beginner literacy learners to decode simple, familiar words. It is recommended that the suggested procedure and activities should be adapted by teachers to suit their learners and context, including differentiation and further practice activities.
