ESL Lessons - Listening and Speaking Activities - Classwork and Homework

I was going through some old files and came across a handout I prepared for an ESL training I conducted in Hualien, Taiwan on Listening and Speaking activities. On the handout, I included different ESL lessons, activities and exercises that can be used both in class and for homework. I've included the table below:

Listening and Speaking Skills and Activities

Skill	Activity Types
	Classwork	Homework
Listening	Listen for: the main idea details vocabulary in cloze activity Classmates’ presentations: take notes selective listening Games: Activities on the chalkboard	Listen to English: TV programs, the news, movies radio, English songs internet (i.e. radio stations, NPR) Communicate in English: Talk to native speakers, other English-speakers, classmates
Speaking	Group work/Pair work: Generate interview questions; interview classmates Flashcards (vocabulary words, pictures of vocabulary words) Categorize Identify Pronunciation practice Games Student presentations in class	Talk to native speakers: Interview Survey Narrate/share experience
Vocabulary	Pictures: Picture prompts Internet Flashcards: Categorize by topic, parts of speech, etc. Worksheets: Identify words you know and don’t know	Worksheets: Cloze Categorize Matching Identify words you know and don’t know
Pronunciation	Pronunciation points taken from context of listening activities: Explicitly identify in listening samples Explicitly integrate into speaking practice Flashcards	Integrated into: Speaking activities Listening activities
Grammar	Grammar points taken from context of phrases learned: Explicitly identify in listening samples Explicitly integrate into speaking practice Phrasal verbs and idioms	Integrated into: Vocabulary worksheets Speaking activities Listening activities Phrasal verbs and idioms

In the presentation, I also presented a "process" or routine that could be followed in a listening/speaking lesson. The process in skeletal form is listed below:
1. Introduce the topic (such as "introducing yourself")
2. State the objectives
3. Provide listening practice (via sound/video recordings or in-class lecture/presentation)
4. Vocabulary/Phrases practice
5. Grammar review
6. Targeted pronunciation practice
7. Speaking practice (applying the skills just learned in a real-life context)
8. Listening review
9. Assign and discuss homework: vocabulary, speaking, and listening practice

Of course, this process can be adapted to meet the individual needs of students and teachers, but the process demonstrates the need to integrate the teaching of vocabulary and phrases, grammar, and pronunciation in an ESL listening/speaking lessons.
