Using the Listening-Reading method - Rick Dearman | PGO 2020

The core of Listening – Reading is as simple as reading in your native language while you listen in your target language. But there are a few caveats, cautions, additional steps and guidelines to follow. The process, at its core, involves a long text (preferably a novel) in L1 and L2, it's L2 audiobook and the following three steps:

1. Read the text in L1 to familiarize yourself with it.
2. Listen to the audiobook while reading along in L2.
3. Listen to the audiobook while reading along in L1.
In this presentation, I'll cover the method itself as well as my experiences using it to boost my listening comprehension and share some other peoples stories.
