Language Features
The teacher highlights the linguistic elements that make the text come alive when heard:
Specific Noun: Focuses on one specific object (e.g., Borobudur, rather than just a temple).
Adjectives: Students are asked to circle or note the adjectives they hear, such as: magnificent, ancient, dark grey, breathtaking, peaceful.
Simple Present Tense: Uses the first form of verbs because it states facts (e.g., It consists, It is, You can see).
Noun Phrases: Detailed combinations of nouns and descriptors (e.g., Giant pyramid, Perforated stupas).
Interactive Activity: "Intonation & Sensory Focus"
In Interactive Listening, the way the text is delivered is crucial:
Word Stress: The teacher demonstrates how adjectives like "Breathtaking" or "Magnificent" are pronounced with stronger emphasis to convey admiration.
Dictogloss: The teacher reads the text once more at a normal speed. Students take notes on keywords, then work in pairs to try and reconstruct the outline of the text.
Comprehension Check (Interactive Quiz)

"What material is the temple made of?" (Dark grey volcanic stones)
"How does the writer describe the atmosphere at sunrise?" (Peaceful and misty)
