Movie Trailer Listening

Movie trailers are stellar for listening. Short, well produced, clear lines of language being communicated.

Here is a quick lesson I put together based on a template I shared here previously for another movie trailer.  Intermediate and advanced students will love this lesson.  Don’t forget to visit our Video Lessons site for all the best lessons and materials for teaching with videos.  Also students can read and study the online book – Ghostbusters.

Lesson Delivery

  1. Play the full trailer and let students take it all in
  2. Provide the jigsaw and play. Students listen/watch again and try to put the lines in order.  (either number or they can cut them out and order)
  3. Keep playing a few times until one group says – “Got it!”
  4. Play a final time to check but with the sound off. Students read the lines like narrators.
