What is the balance of interactive/non-interactive listening activities that you use in your classes?
I suppose, that I use more interactive listening activities in my class. I consider them to be very useful for students, because it helps them to overcome the fear of speaking, increase their understanding, by asking questions. This can really help them doing the tasks more effectively. Also it helps the teacher to motivate my students and involve them into working prosses by personalization of context, by getting immidiate feedback and ussing it to improve the task and level of interaction.

Do you think that live teacher listening is an activity type that can be used equally by both native and non-native teachers? Why?
I think that live teacher listening type can be used by native and non-native teachers equally because students in their life will have to face with different levels of English and accents of non native speakers ether and it's good for them to have all variety of practice they can have during their study. Even the native speakers have different accents in different parts of the world. Of course it's good to have practise with native British with perfect, it could help you to get rid of your accent, but still practice with non native speaker has some positive sides too, like better understanding of non natives.

Which of the activities from exercise 2 do you use in class? Do you have any other favorite activities that you use to help develop students' listening skills?
I watch lots of videos with my students, usually short ones (2-3min) about current events, Science, Economy, things they are interested in because they are part of real life, they enjoy them more than fiction stories. Those videos show authentic English, I usually give them English subtitles as well. I sometimes tell them things about me…one activity my 17 year olds enjoyed a lot was to choose a personal photo and explain the history behind. I was the first one to do the activity. We also listen to songs, sometimes while doing exercises. We always read the lyrics first.

What is the balance of interactive/non-interactive listening activities that you use in your classes?
I think I use more interactive than non-interactive listening activities but the truth is that they only give their full attention when I give them a mark! Maybe I am wrong about that…will need to ask them!
