Quarter 2-Week 1

After going through this lesson, you are expected to :

1. Identify the different purpose in listening.

2. Use listening strategies based on purpose,

familiarity with the topic and level of difficulty of
short text listened level.

3. Apply the two strategies by understanding what has

listed to and examine listening texts.

What is the difference
between hearing and
listening?
Hearing Isthe ability to perceive sound
by detecting vibrations through
the ear.
Listening
Isthe ability to accurately
receive and interpret
messages in the
communication process.
 VS.

Why is listening difficult though it

is the skill we use the most?
How to become a GOOD LISTENER:
1. Be attentive.
2. Keep an open mind
3. Listen to the words
4. Try to picture out what the speaker is saying.
- We listen to understand and evaluate a message to get
the information and ideas, to communicate, to
distinguish sounds and to enjoy.
- Predicting the content and noting important details will
help you understand the message you listened to.
LISTENING STRATEGIES
- Are techniques which contribute directly to
the comprehension and recall of a listening
input.

 topic
 type of listening material
 purpose of listening
What are listening strategies?
are techniques or activities that contribute directly
to the comprehension and recall of listening input.
can be classified by how the listener processes
the input.
These are: Top down and Bottom up
TOP-DOWN
reading process is a reverse of the
bottom-up model
reading is conceptually driven
Readers use their background
knowledge to make predictions as they
read the text.
Top - Down Listening Strategies
 Considered listener-based strategies. The listener
uses background knowledge to make sense of what
S/He is listening to.

> That means that he already knows a fair amount of

information about the topic. He is able to relate a
story or information into a prior knowledge.
> Refers to the use of background knowledge in
understanding the meaning of the message.
Top-down strategies include:
 Listening for the main idea
 Predicting
 Drawing inferences
 Summarizing
Top - Down Listening Strategies
Top down strategy focuses on content. Students can
predict the content of listening activity beforehand and
use various materials such as pictures and key words
to understand the meaning.
PURPOSES OF TOP-DOWN
encourages students to focus more on understanding
the main ideas of a passage than understanding every
word
if students do not understand each word, they are likely
to grasp the meaning of a text as a whole
encourages students to rely on their own knowledge
and use context clues to understand new concepts or
words
help pupil determine what pronunciation was
correct in a particular text.
Example of Top-down listening
strategy:
 BOTTOM-UP
• Text-based strategy
• The listener attempts to make sense of the
language sound by sound, word by word.
• Less use of background knowledge.
• Relies on the language in the message that
creates the meaning (e.g. sounds, words
and grammar)
Bottom-up strategies include:

 Listening for specific details

 Recognizing cognates
 Recognizing word-order patterns

Examples:
Example of Bottom-up:
While having your recess, your classmate tells you a story
about a recent vacation, which was an exciting one. You
attentively listen and give reactions at appropriate moments,
perhaps to show that you can relate to what is being told.
That same day, a friend calls to invite you to a celebration at
his/her house the following weekend. As you have never been
to his/her house before, he/she gives you directions. You
listen carefully and pay attention to these specific details.
Learning Task 1: Decide whether each of the following is a top-down or
a bottom
-up listening strategy.
_______________ 1. taking down notes
_______________ 2. listening for specific details
_______________ 3. identifying the speaker
_______________ 4. summarizing
_______________ 5. drawing inferences
_______________ 6. recognizing cognates (words with the same origin)
_______________ 7. recognizing divisions between words
_______________ 8. listening for the main idea
_______________ 9. recognizing word-order patterns
_______________ 10. making predictions
During Listening

note of the important details.
 Post-Listening

 The use of informal language and those who have work
relationships usually use formal language. By using
context clues, you can identify what is being said, who
