问答题

Should the teacher use a multiple-choice comprehension question in the post-listening activity? Why or why not?

【正确答案】

No, the teacher should not use multiple-choice comprehension questions in the post-listening activity. The multiple-choice comprehension question is the most typical type of post-listening task in traditional listening class and this type of task may prepare students to take multiple-choice tests, it does little to help them develop good listening habits and strategies. Thus the teacher needs to decide how to balance his/her teaching in preparing the students for traditional multiple-choice tests and preparing them for using English in the real world.
