Details: In this article http://eflmagazine.com/ten-post-listening-activites/ the point that I've get are ten different activities that you can use in the post-listening stage. In the stage, student have done a pre-listening activity, participated in a few while listening tasks and they are ready to move on to something else that include noticing new words and phrases that came up in listening, recalling, and reconstructing information from the listening and practicing new words and practicing in speaking or writing.

The writer using a track from ELLO, the dialogue is titled 'Change of Clothes', but you can use another songs too.

1. Reviewing The Transcript

    Each student have to copy the transcript. Tell to the class to underline any sections of the transcript that they think hey understand, also circle any sections which they don't understand at all. And then discuss the part they underlined and circled.

2. Quiz Your Classmate

Give each students test question. Ask student to make up 3 quiz questions based on the listening track and each question should be different.

3. Quizzing Teams

Copy the transcript before the class begin and divide it into two parts.

give each team one part of the transcript and give 15 minutes to make a question that to ask to another team.

4. What Do You Recall?

Put student into pairs. Ask them to take turn recalling one bit of information from the listening without repeating anything.

5. Discussion

Ask student to compose 3 discussion question based on the topics that came up during the listening.

 6. Revising The Dialogue

Put student into small groups. Give each group a copy of the dialogue and write their changes on the transcript and than practice it.

7. A Gift

Elicit from the class different items of clothing, rite them on the board. Next give each student a slip of paper and ask them to write their names. Collect the slips of paper, and redistribute them, so that everyone has someone else’s name. Tell the class that they need to choose an item of clothing they want to give to the student whose name is on their slip of paper.

8. Dictogloss

Tell students that you are going to read a short section of the dialogue, and you want them to listen, without writing anything down. 

9. Interviewing Danny

Tell your class that during the listening activity, you noticed that Danny asked the questions, but didn’t answer any. Tell student that they are going to have an opportunity to ask Danny questions, and they don’t have to limit the subject to clothes. They can ask Danny about anything! Give the class around 10 minutes to write as many questions as they can think of. Next, put a chair in front of the class and call on a student to take the role of Danny.

10. Spin-Offs

 Spin-off is a TV series that is based on some of the characters or situations from an earlier series. Put students into pairs and ask them to brainstorm some possible spin-offs from the dialogue, situations that are suggested by the dialogue.

From these activities you can  put students into groups of 5. Ask them to choose one of the situations, and practice it several times, each time with different students playing different roles. At the end of each role play, the other group members should offer suggestions on how to improve the role play.

After 15 minutes, call on each group to send its’ best performers to do their role play for the class.
