English Speaking & Listening Meta 7–8 yrs

Engaging Listeners and Valuing Viewpoints

倾听他人与尊重观点

Description

Gain, maintain and monitor the interest of listeners when speaking; consider and evaluate different viewpoints, attending to and building on others' contributions; begin to select appropriate language for different situations

Mastery Evidence

✓ Use strategies to engage listeners during a presentation (e.g., make eye contact, vary tone and pace, ask the audience a question)
✓ Listen to a peer's viewpoint and respond by agreeing, disagreeing, or extending their idea with a reason (e.g., 'I agree with Priya because… but I also think…')
✓ Choose more formal language for a class presentation and more informal language for a group discussion, explaining the difference

Assessment Prompt

When your child is talking in a group, do they notice if people are losing interest and adjust how they're speaking — or pick up on what others have said and add to it thoughtfully?
