Books and Browsing: A look inside the Library and Bookstore

In this English lesson, students strengthen their listening comprehension, grammar awareness, and collaborative skills through two engaging texts about books and literature. Using the running dictation technique, learners listen to short narratives, note key information, and reconstruct the texts from memory. This activity focuses on the non-active voice, specifically passive sentence structures, helping students notice and apply correct verb forms to describe actions and processes where the focus is on the object rather than the subject. Through group or pair work, learners practice accuracy, recall, and teamwork while developing strategies for active listening and language retention. By comparing their reconstructed versions with the original texts, students enhance self-correction skills, expand vocabulary related to reading and literary environments, and build confidence in using English to describe events and actions from a passive perspective.
