So, this is a really short post because I am hideously tired but I wanted to note something useful here, kind of for myself, kind of to brag about the versatility of one of my resources.
Backchannel Bingo sheets (elementary PDF; intermediate PDF) can be used as way for your learners to analyse their own active listening strategies in a conversation. Here’s how.
- Go into breakout room in the video conferencing tool you are using.
- Learners set record (Zoom, Google Meet, Jit.si all have this but the first two may need it turned on by administrators if you have an institutional account).
- Learners converse for about 2-3 minutes.
- Stop recording.
- Learners watch video and see what strategies they used.
There’s another post here about the meatspace version of Backchannel Bingo.
