I. Introduction
Listening is one of the Most important English component that teachers need
to teach students. Teachers is the one who is responsible to make students
master in listening. Therefore , Teachers need to give students a meaning
input by preparing A good Listening materials for instance ; in form authentic
material. Authentic materials is a kind of materials that is designed for native
speaker for instance; news report on BBC , VOA, newyork time newspaper
etc. They can be used by teachers to present a real context of English in daily
communication.
I. Statement of problem
There are many teachers have been using authentic materials in teaching
Listening . However, many of them still can not to use them effectively. For
example ; in my school, the teachers played a short vidio from BBc news
about wether report, after playing video, the teachers asking me about
specific information of the news, however I can not anwer the quistion. In
facts, the teacher just played recording / video without giving students any
clues or any meaning of certain difficult word, so that the students can not
understand what They have heard . From the story above I conclude that the
main problem in this case is the teachers do not give students the 2 aspects
of learning procces ; top down and bottom up.
II. Discussion
From the story above the teachers do not give students both top down and
bottom up , so that students can not to catch the meaning or can not to answer certain
quistion related to Listening materials. Therefore, in teaching authentic materials for
Listening , the teachers should use both bottom up and top down procces to make students
are easier in answering quistion or knowing difficult vocabulary, grammar etc related to the
materials
A. Defenition Top down and bottom up
1. Top down
Top down contains the background knowledge of topic and
knowledge of how the discourse is organized by looking of
different genres, topic,and puposes. In addition, it also
contains the contextual knowledge that involves the
understanding of particular Listening situation on its context.
For example ; listeners estimate about who participants
are,what setting is and what topic and purposes are.
2. Bottom up
Bottom up contains the knowlegde about the language
system, such as the knowlegde about grammar , vocabulary
and phonological system.
