Listening

General descriptor B2

Provided they speak slowly and clearly, and the sound quality is very good...

I can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of thought provided the topic is reasonably familiar. I can understand most TV news and current affairs programmes. I can understand the majority of films in standard dialect.

Specific descriptor:

I can understand most radio programmes such as news, interviews, songs, or sports commentaries and identify the speaker's tone, mood, etc.

Descriptors of interculturality

Reflect with the help of these descriptors about your intercultural competence and what you can do to improve it. We enhance in red the two descriptors you need to evaluate in this task. All the portfolio , and as a consequence , the intercultural reflection is presented as  a process,  which may include your changes as you grow older and get to know other cultures. So, remember to write the date. Activities The activities with the song are suggested for two different levels: A2 students may go through the listening, but also with the teacher´s guidance can have a reflection in their own mother language. Advanced students may also go through the listening, but the reflection process should be in English. Activity for B2 students: Listen and complete the missing parts of the song: . http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=n6Jds2NURkc Cheeseburger in Paradise Jimmy Buffet Tried To ------------My --------------Habits Made It Nearly Seventy Days, ------------ ---------Without Speed, Eatin' Sunflower Seeds, Drinkin' Lots Of --------- -----------And Soakin' Up Rays But At Night I'd Have These ------------- ---------------- Some Kind Of Sensuous Treat Not--------------, Fettuccini, Or Bulgur----------------, But A Big Warm Bun And A Huge Hunk Of ---------------- Cheeseburger Is Paradise ----------- -------- -------------With An ---------- ---------- Not Too Particular, Not Too ------------ I'm Just A --------------------In Paradise I Like Mine With ----------------And--------------------, Heinz Fifty-seven And -----------    -----------------   ------------- Big Kosher Pickle And A Cold Draft Beer Well, Good God Almighty, Which Way Do I Steer For My --------------------In Paradise Heard About The Old Time Sailor Men, They Eat The Same Thing Again And Again Warm --------------And ------------They Say Could Raise The Dead Well, It --------- ---------- -----------The Menu At A Holiday Inn But Times Have Changed For Sailors These Days When I'm In Port I Get What I Need Not Just Havanas Or --------------Or----------------------, But That American Creation On----------- ------- --------!

Work on colloquial expressions. Find and translate them. 3. Notice the influence of famous brands all over the world. 4. Find in the song details of other cultures, such as daily life (food, drink…) 5. Promote tolerance to a different culture though a final reflection. We suggest going through the reflection included in the activities for the A1 students, but it should obviously be done in English. What is the most typical American food according to the song? And in your opinion? What is the most typical food in your own country? Ask several partners. Do they all agree? Is there any influence of culture in the taste for foods? Which food do you think is the most popular in the world? From which country does it come from? Do you like foods from other countries? Which ones? Do you think these foods are better/ worse that the ones in your country or they are just different? To finish the activity we suggest a final personal reflection in English.
