Tape recorders
The tape recorder is perhaps the
most common piece of
technology that teachers have
access to. Most course books
have listening activities and the
course cassette is an invaluable
resource for the teacher.
Pre-recorded listening material is useful in the classroom. It brings variety to the lesson and lets the students hear English
speaking voices other than the teacher’s. But the use of the tape recorder is not limited to pre-recorded course material.
There are other sources of listening material such as radio programmes (see page 24) and music. Activities such as ‘jigsaw
listening’ (see below) are a communicative way of using the tape recorder and recording the students themselves is a
student-centred way of developing language skills and confidence.
