D. EL Course Orentation

A. Description

Extensive Listening (EL) involves students listening to large amounts of motivating and engaging materials which are linguistically appropriate over a period of time where they listen with a    reasonable speed for general understanding, with a focus on meaning rather than form. 

B. EL Learning Outcomes

At the end of the learning, participants are able to:

1). Objectives:

Comprehend general and specific information on various authentic spoken texts with normal speech rates to enhance students listening fluency through direct meaning comprehension and inferred meaning comprehension. 2

2) Learning Indicators:

At the end of the course, the students are able to enhance their listening comprehension with different speech rates of similar topic-based new stories as the authentic spoken listening material to develop their listening fluency by listening for gists, listening for specific information, and listening for inferences.

D. Time Commitment and Course Organization

Participants are expected to complete weekly topic activities within the given week (12 weeks) online learning. This course will be conducted using both synchronous and asynchronous learning modes. In synchronous mode, participants will meet their teachers and other registered participants in the assigned online meeting using chat or forum discussion provided by Moodle. They can possibly interact with each other and discuss the weekly topic or maybe the problems found during their learning. In this mode, the activities involve doing pre-listening tasks such as watching videos or image-related topic and give their responses or feedbacks on the questions given. They will then do whilst-activity by listening to five similar news stories related to the topic with different speech rates started from slower to normal. Each news story contains ten listening comprehension questions found in Quizzes menu. In addition, they can also check their comprehension level with different speech rates using online listening log (hereafter Google.doc.). Pre- and whilst-listening activities should be synchronously completed in a-100 minutes teaching completion (2 credits). Finally, they should reflect their learning experiences in post-listening activity. In this listening learning stage, they are required to do dictogloss writing asynchronously in a group (3-4 students each) within for one-week completion. 

E. Evaluation

Participants will be evaluated in the beginning and at the end of the program in pre- and post-test formats. In the pre-test, they will be tested their comprehension questions on news stories monologues with normal speech rate to know their initial ability. Post-test will be given at the end of the program to know their learning progress. More additionally, they will be assessed in a weekly basis. Overall, the grading is based on a multiple-choice format. Participants active involvement in forum/chat discussion will be regarded as added values as the program is formatted in interactive learning in which participants would be the center of learning mediated by the instructors. Nevertheless, dictogloss writing assignment is assessed and then the results are sent back to the participants so that they can self-evaluate their writing according to the instructors' feedback as well. 

F. Dictogloss Writing Guideline

     In every meeting, participants will do dictogloss writing with their respective group. Thus, they should be given short         instructional section how to do dictogloss writing. The following is the guideline of dictogloss writing:

     Instruction:  You may use the following guideline during your dictogloss writing assignment. 

1. You should select your group members (3 or 4 members each group) in a group and do dictogloss writing using google doc (hereafter google doc.com).
2. In group, you select one most comprehensible news story in topic 1 (choose 1 of 5 news story) and listen in the first listening (the transcript and the audio are available in 'file' menu)
3. You listen to the selected news story in the second listening and write down some keywords or phrases (normally about five to ten words/phrases depending on the length of the passage).
4. In group, you compare the lists each other and try to agree on a common list.
5. Then, you use the key words to reconstruct the text in writing.
6. The text you collaboratively write should be in between 150 – 160 words in Google doc.
7. You listen the news story one more time, and then check if you have reconstructed piece of matches the original story. 
8. Use the following template as your dictogloss writing. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1om7qeWsZ_MthB5Uur5uKekzJJa5D6e9dtC8gd1mhW_M/edit (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
9. Submit your collaborative constructed writing through google doc. link.
10. You may watch the following Youtube links for further explanation:

      Grading:

      You will be graded based on several criteria such as:

1. Your active collaboration during the process of writing the reconstructed text in dictogloss writing. It can be seen on students' writing history in google doc. The more you contribute in writing the text, the more you show your activeness and vice versa.
2. The similarity of the reconstructed text with the original or the selected text.
3. The number of words in your writing (not exceed than 160 words)
4. Aspects of writing: content, organization, diction, language use, and mechanics. The complete criteria attached in the following link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p1UTU7yVInl61EQW0XxWlsIMTjmL4kOqI5md9afKxkY/edit (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

G. Communication and Support

If you are experiencing difficulties, it is important that you ask for help early. For questions about course materials or assignments, contact your instructors, Refi Ranto Rozak, M.Pd., Dr. Irmayani, M.Pd. and Maslakhatin, M.Pd. through Moodle. You may also contact your classmates through any other social media messaging.
