This is not acceptable and the teacher should work with the students to help improve their listening skills. Refer back to receptive skills unit for further tips on dealing with this problem. First of all though, make sure it is a problem with listening skills and not just the poor quality of the tape, or the volume being too low, etc.
Another common problem the teacher is often faced with is what to do when one or two students have finished tasks, yet others may be only part way through. Do we go at the speed of the quickest? The slowest? Most teachers take the 'common sense' view that we should carry out the lesson at the pace of the majority of the class.
If we keep a selection of extra activities/materials, we can then make sure the quicker students have something to do and don't become bored. Another solution is to plan other activities for the same materials and if some students finish early, they can do extra work on it. Word searches are convenient and often popular materials to keep handy for quick finishers.
