In many Chinese colleges, traditional College English listening classes rely heavily on mechanical listening drills, leaving TCSOL freshmen passive in interaction. They often lack pre-listening preparation, listening prediction awareness and topic-related expressions. This lesson adopts Game-Based Learning with role-play in an art-fair scenario. Centered on discourse markers, it turns blind listening into immersive communication. The design innovatively integrates listening strategy training, language accumulation and cross-cultural comparison to motivate students, boost engagement and improve listening competence, providing a practical reference for college English listening teaching.
