Idea — A gist task asks one broad question answered by listening once through. It gives listening a purpose and stops learners trying to catch every word before they’re ready.
Example — ‘Is this conversation at work or at home?’ is a gist question. It requires understanding tone and topic, not every word.
Try — Design one gist question for any audio you plan to use this week. Make sure it can be answered from overall meaning, not one specific detail.
