This is not a passive activity. Your teacher will presents the lesson using the dramatisation on video toggling with his/her finger on the "play" and "pause" buttons of the VCR, and stopping at the key points of the passage. You will be asked to repeat systematically what you hear, and to answer your moderators questions. Students listen and repeat every piece of information they are able to remember. The role of the teacher is to pause and make sure that his/her students have understood the text, by asking questions repeatedly.
