DISCUSSION

In this activity sheet, you will recognize the differences between

listening and hearing, its benefits and procedure in active listening.
Furthermore, it shows us how to get the worthy of ideas mentioned
from a listening text.

HEARING VS. LISTENING

Hearing is an accidental and automatic brain response to sound
that requires no effort.
For example, we are accustomed to the sounds of the buses, a
dog barking in a distance, karaoke playing, a neighbor yelling to her/his
children and so on. We hear those incidental sounds, and we train
ourselves to ignore them, unless we have a reason to do otherwise. We
learn to filter out sounds that mean little to us, just like we choose to
hear our ringing cellphones and other sounds that are more important.

Listening, on the other hand, is purposeful and focused rather

than accidental. As a result, it requires motivation and effort. It is active
and concentrated attention for the purpose of understanding the
meaning expressed by a speaker.

 Purpose of Listening:
There is no doubt that effective listening is an extremely important life
skill.
Listening serves as a number of possible purposes. This will depend on
the situation and the nature of the communication.
1. To specifically focus on the messages being communicated, avoid
distractions and preconceptions.
2. To gain a full and accurate understanding into the speaker’s point
of view and ideas.
3. To critically assess what is being said.
4. To observe the non-verbal signals accompanying what is being said
to enhance understanding.
5. To show interest, concern and concentration.
6. To encourage the speaker to communicate fully, openly and
honestly.
7. To develop a selflessness approach, putting the speaker first.
8. To arrive at a shared and agreed understanding and acceptance of
both sides views.

Steps in getting worthy ideas of the text

Below are the steps that will help you to get the worthy ideas of the text
you are listening and understand its content.
1. Begin by listening carefully to the main idea so that you can identify
the subject.
2. Listen for key words to help you remember the important points. If
you are listening to a narration or description, try to visualize the
details. If you are listening to an exposition, try to understand the
order behind the arrangement of the detailed sentences.

One way to remember the important details in a text you are listening
to is to pay attention to the discourse markers.

Discourse markers are words or phrases whose function is to organize

discourse (speech) into segments.

The following are some discourse markers emphasizing important

details. If you heard any of these words, you may be taking the worthy
ideas of the text you are listening to.

3. Think about what you are listening to. Sorting out or arranging the
main ideas in your mind helps you identify the main points to
remember. Try to jot down the main points. Go over the speech from
beginning to end and recall the details.

Benefits of Listening Attentively

Listed below, are four compelling advantages when you practice active
Listening.
1. You Become A Better Student
When you focus on the material presented in a classroom, you
will be able to identify not only the words used in a lecture but
their emphasis and their more complex meaning.
2. You Become A Better Friend
When you give your best attention to the people expressing
thoughts and experiences that are important to them, those
individuals are likely to see you as someone who cares about their
well - being. This fact is especially true when you give your
attention only and refrain from interjecting opinions, judgments,
and advice.
3. People Will Perceive You as Intelligent and Perceptive
When you listen well to others, you reveal yourself as being
curious and interested in people and events. In addition, your
ability to understand the meanings of what you hear will make
you a more knowledgeable and thoughtful person.
4. Good Listening Can Help Your Public Speaking
When you listen well to others, you start to pick up more on the
stylistic components related to how people form arguments and
present information. As a result, you have the ability to analyze
what you think works and doesn’t work in other’s speeches,
which can help you transform your speeches in the process.
