Lesson 1: Using LISTENING

STRATEGIES based on
purpose, familiarity with the topic and
levels of difficulty of short texts listened to
Hearing vs. Listening

Why do we listen?

2
Listening:
Purpose
Reason

3
4
 1
Discriminative Listening
(Different Sounds)
→ listening to know the difference between
auditory and
visual information

5
Discriminative Listening
Example:
If you are meeting a friend, who is always full of energy,
then suddenly her voice is very down or sad. Here you use
your discriminative listening ability to understand that
there is something wrong with the person.

6
 2
Comprehensive Listening
(Understanding the meaning of the message)

→ listening to develop general and specific

understanding
of a text

7
Comprehensive Listening
Example:
Include watching the news, listening to a peer give a presentation, or taking
notes during a meeting.

Because our brains work differently, sometimes comprehensive listening can

be complicated. Two people can listen to the same message and interpret them
in different ways.

8
 3
Therapeutic/Emphatic
Listening
(Understanding the meaning of the speaker)
→ listening to ease one’s problem or
difficulty

9
Therapeutic/Emphatic Listening
Example:
Your friend wants to stop studying. She tells you what was wrong and you
listened well without interrupting her.

10
 4
Critical/Analytical Listening
(Evaluate the meaning of the message)
→ listening to make judgments based on a
material

11
Critical/Analytical Listening
Example:
Someone talking to you can say hello. On the surface it seems friendly, but the
way they say hello to you can convey a lot of different meanings.

12
 5
Appreciative Listening
→ listening for pleasure or fun

13
Appreciative Listening
Example:
Listening to good music, meditation seminars, poetry, audiobooks, etc.

LISTENING STRATEGIES
15
 A.
Listening for details:
means listening for specific pieces of information that are usually
used to answer questions.
Remember: Pay attention to specific details, and listen to key
words and statements that answer what, who, where, when, why
and how questions. It will also be helpful to read and understand
the given comprehension questions before listening to the text.

16
 B.
Listening for gist:
refers to identifying the main idea or the “big picture” of the text.

Remember: Aim for a general understanding of the material. You

need not understand each and every word nor focus on specific
details to do this. Pay attention to the speaker’s tone and the
loudness of his/her voice to know if he/she is
emphasizing key statements.

17
 C.
Drawing Inferences:
is a listener’s ability to perceive the ideas that are implied or not
directly stated in the text. At times, speakers leave some information unsaid,
thinking that it could be something that the listeners already know. In other
cases, they simply want to challenge the audience’s thinking ability.
Remember: First, you have to fully understand the details that are directly
stated. Then, try to analyze the speaker’s tone, intention, biases and other
thoughts that are not shown in the actual text. Do not take everything
literally. To understand the situations better, you may also relate them to
your prior knowledge or the things that you have learned through your
experiences before the present listening task.
18
 D.
Listening selectively:
means listening to certain portions of the material depending on
the listener’s purpose or intention.
Remember: Start by knowing your specific purpose/s for
listening and the exact information that you need. These are what
you will watch out for as you listen, so you do not need to focus
on everything that will be said. Just remember, this strategy
would not give you a deep understanding of the text, so this is
not applicable to some listening goals.

19
 E.
Making Predictions:
refers to having advance thoughts about the events or information
that will be stated by the speaker. Anticipating the next portions of the text
can help you become an active listener.
Remember: Pay attention to the clues presented in the listening
text, for example, the speaker’s statements, tone and loudness of
the voice, facial expressions, and other gestures.
