The show the whole video once but the students who didnt understand any part
teacher explain more to them. I think the most helpful to them was to hear it in

REFLECTION
This model of teaching listing is easier to teacher and students when they have
to listen to story or other thing. The advantage of this kind of lesson that it will be
more organizes and has main goal that teacher wants student to achieve.
Second, that can change of the routine of the class with new strategy that can
students find interesting.
But the problem of it that student will feel bored of only listening without having
active activity to do in class so, I think that students will loss interesting the aim of
the lesson. For that the teacher should include in this lesson a different method
that make students participate in the lesson. Also, the problem could be in while
listening that students will find it a way to play but if teacher choose the perfect
place to read to them as reading corner this problem could be easy to deal.
However, teacher is the key to make all three steps success in her listening
activity.
