USE LISTENING STRATEGIES
BASED ON PURPOSE
In our everyday lives, one of the many skills that we use is listening. Upon
waking up in the morning, we listen to the sounds of the things around us and to the
songs that we like. We do listen to understand the message of the source but
sometimes, listening difficulties can also cause misunderstanding. Have you
experienced having trouble understanding the message of the person you are talking
to? How about when you listen to some news in the radio or
television?
Listening comprehension can be the
basis for your speaking and writing. You can
be able to write and speak properly, if you
have good listening comprehension. To be

What’s New
Activity 1: Let the Music Play
Songs play different roles in our lives. Sometimes, it allows us to express what
we feel. It can also help us to reminisce our childhood memories or other remarkable
experiences. Depending on how the song relates to what we feel at the moment, we
can have different interpretation on a same song.
For this activity, you are now going to listen to a song, read its lyrics, and may
choose to do any of the following:
1. Jot down the words that caught your attention;
2. Write vocabulary words which may represent the emotion that you feel as
you listen to the song;
3. Draw images which could represent the message of the song;
4. Enumerate as many feelings that the song may draw out from you; and,
5. Write your responses in your notebook.

Here is the lyrics of the song to guide you while listening.
Somebody else
Here I am
And love again
Alone and I don't understand
Exactly how it all began
The dream just walked away
And from the start
I'm holding on
Maybe we were tryin' to hard
When all but the passion's gone
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart but I know
And from the start
That I don't want you to go, no
Maybe I was tryin' to hard
Maybe we were tryin' to hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' my heart
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart but I know
Things can fall apart but I know
That I don't want you to go
That I don't want you to go
Oh no, don't want you to go
And heroes die
When they ignore the cause inside
But they learn from what's left behind
And fight for something else
And so it goes
That we have both learned how to grow
(Repeat)

Here are some of the reasons why you listen:
• to obtain information;
• to understand;
• to learn;
• to communicate;
• to enjoy;
Here are some of the things that you should do while you are listening:
When you are listening to get the main idea, you can possibly get the whole
picture by being able to identify one crucial difference. Information comes in a
sequence and in that sequence, there are content words like nouns, pronouns and
adjectives that can help you form the picture. Therefore, you need to listen more
carefully and attentively to capture the entire message.

You listen to gather specific important details or information. When you listen
to get specific details like names, date, object or place, you do not need to put your
attention to the entire message of the selection that you are listening to. You can ignore
anything that does not sound relevant. This way, you can narrow down your search
and get the detail that you need. You can also select the materials that you are going
to listen when you need the specific details.

Predicting the Content
Your knowledge in the world helps you anticipate the kind of information you
are likely to hear. When you are listening to a news, you can often predict the kind of
words or language that will be used. Your stock knowledge or any stored information
in the brain can also help us predict the topic of a specific content.
(https://www.britishcouncil.org/voices-magazine/five-essential-listening-skills-english-learners)
When you listen, it is also important to infer the meaning presented by the
speaker using clues and your prior knowledge to work out the meaning of what you
hear. Similarly, you can infer relationship between people from the words they use.
People who have intimate relationships usually use informal language and those who
have work relationships usually use formal language. By using context clues, you can
identify what is being said, who is speaking, and what is taking place.
(https://www.britishcouncil.org/voices-magazine/five-essential-listening-skills-english-learners)
1. Think about the topic of the text you are going to listen to. What do you
already know about it? What could be possibly the content of the text?
2. If you have to do a task on listening, check whether you have
understood the task correctly.
3. Think about what kind of text you are going to listen to.
4. Relax and make yourself ready to pay attention to the listening text.
1. It is not necessary to understand every single word. Try to ignore those words
that you think are less important anyway.
2. If there are words or issues that you don’t understand, use your general
knowledge as well as context to find out the meaning.

3. If you still don’t understand something, use a dictionary to look up the words
or ask someone else for help
4. Focus on keywords and facts.
5. Take notes to support your memory.
6. Intonation and stress of the speakers can help you understand what you hear.
7. Try to think ahead. What might happen next? What might the speakers say?
Which words might they use?
After Listening
1. Think about the text again. Did you understand the main point?
2. Remember the speculations you made before listening. Did it turn out to be
true?
3. Review your notes.
4. Check whether you have completed your task correctly.
5. Did you have any problem while listening? Do you have any problem in
completing your task? Identify your problems and ask someone for help.
6. Listen again to difficult passages.
