Introduction:
Begin with a quick discussion about how students encounter Kiswahili listening in daily life, such as hearing a weather forecast on the radio. Connect this to their prior experience of extracting key details from spoken messages. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will accurately capture facts, identify speaker intent, and produce concise summaries.
