Listening cloze meets info-gap: A hybrid activity to fully exploit listening materials in the classroom

Abstract

In twenty-first-century language teaching, the class should be studentcentered and provide learners with skills that empower them in reallife situations. In this regard, it is commonly said that practice makes perfect. It therefore makes sense to ask ourselves how much our listening activities demand from students and to evaluate whether we are getting full benefit from the listening materials we use.
