Listen to the passage. On a piece of paper, take notes on the main points of the listening passage.

(professor) As a teacher, it's important for you to recognize that you can take steps to establish the appropriate kind of social environment to meet the goals of each activity. It's not enough to recognize that certain types of social environments can exist in the classroom; it's also necessary to understand that you can take steps to ensure that the social environment is appropriate for a particular activity. To establish a cooperative environment. your role is to get across to the students that a particular task is to be completed in pairs or in groups and that only those responses that have been agreed upon by the entire group will be accepted. To establish a competitive environment, your role is to get across to the students that they must work alone and that their responses will be evaluated in comparison with responses from other students. To establish an individualistic environment, your role is to get across to the students that they are to work alone and that they are to do the best job they can and that they'll be evaluated based upon a predetermined scale rather than on how well they do in comparison with other students.
