Information
Description
What It Is:
This is an English language learning worksheet focusing on the topic of bilingualism and its effects on the brain. The activity involves listening to a recording from NPR and matching the beginnings of sentences with their correct endings. There are eight sentence beginnings and ten possible endings, meaning two endings will not be used. The student must then write the correct letter corresponding to the sentence ending in the numbered boxes provided.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for high school students (grades 9-12) and potentially advanced middle school students (grade 8). The vocabulary and complex sentence structures, as well as the abstract topic of bilingualism and brain function, require a higher level of English comprehension.
Why Use It:
This worksheet improves listening comprehension, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. It also introduces students to the cognitive benefits of bilingualism and exposes them to authentic audio content from NPR.
How to Use It:
First, access the NPR audio link provided. Students should listen to the recording about bilingualism and brain power. As they listen, they should match the sentence beginnings (1-8) with the correct endings (A-J). Then, write the letter of the correct ending in the corresponding numbered box at the bottom of the worksheet. Remember to use each ending only once, and two endings will not be used.
Target Users:
This worksheet is designed for English language learners, particularly those at an intermediate to advanced level. It is also suitable for native English speakers who are interested in learning about the cognitive benefits of bilingualism.
