As the name of the book suggests, the materials in Teaching IELTS Listening: Interactive Classroom Activities are all designed to stimulate classroom interaction, with no awkward silences, no wasting time on things that are better done at home, and a surprising amount of useful classroom speaking for a book on listening! Stimulating pairwork and groupwork activities also help make the language and tips more memorable, and lead to more intensive practice of the language than more traditional IELTS Listening materials do. Such activities include:

• tips and useful phrases
• personal form filling practice
• dictation, including pairwork dictation
• pairwork error correction
• roleplays
• personalised sentence completion activities
• using IELTS Listening language challenges
• IELTS Speaking on listening and IELTS Listening topics
• discussion questions
• brainstorming language for IELTS Listening
• guessing games
• finding things in common
• bluffing
• races
• simplest responses

Teaching IELTS Listening: Interactive Classroom Activities can be used for everything from a one-off lesson to a whole IELTS Listening course, including as a supplement to less interactive and less intensive IELTS textbooks and listening materials. Its materials are also designed for use before and after official practice tests.
