answered no in number 3, it
means that you did the task
successfully and that you used
a combination of listening
strategies. What are these
listening strategies? Let’s find
them out in the next section of
this module!
LESSON
WHY DO WE
LISTEN?
Listening is the ability to
accurately receive and interpret
messages in the communication
process.

Listening is key to all

effective communication.
Without the ability to listen
effectively, messages are easily
misunderstood.
PURPOSE OF
LISTENING
 PURPOSE OF LISTENING

1. Listening for gist. This is when we listen to know the general or main idea
of what is being said. For example, when you’re marathoning a very long anime
(200-500 episodes) and you want to finish it fast, you just focus on the
important details to be able to know what the story is about or what each
episode is about. In this case, we listen for the gist by knowing who
speaks to whom and why.
2. Listening for specific information. This is when we listen but we don’t
need to understand everything that is being said. We are just after a specific
information. For example, when you are listening to a school announcement
about the bus assignment for a field trip, you are not interested about the bus
number of all the sections in the school. You are probably only after the bus
number of your section and you ignore the rest of the information.
 PURPOSE OF LISTENING

3. Listening in detail. This is when we listen to everything that is being said

because we believe we cannot miss any information. For example, when
watching a tutorial video, we tend to listen to every detail because we’re afraid
that if we miss a single step or an important detail, we might not be able to
follow the procedure and we will not get the desired output, product, or result.

4. Listening to infer. This is when we listen to know something that is beyond

what is being said in words such as the feelings of the speaker or the
relationship between two people. For example, have you experienced this
situation? You want to ask your teacher a favor, but before you ask, you observe
first by listening to how he or she talks to other people. You do this to know if he
or she is in the right mood to be asked a favor.
 Q2M1: Choose the letter of the best answer. For items 1-4, identify the
listening purpose based on the task description.
A. listening for gist C. listening in detail
B. listening for specific information D. listening to infer

theme.

step procedure for an experiment that you have to do afterwards.

B section for the film viewing activity at the audiovisual room.
4. You overheard two strangers who were arguing in a mall, and you said to

FACTORS
AFFECTING THE
DIFFICULTY
LEVEL OF
LISTENING
TEXTS
 FACTORS AFFECTING THE DIFFICULTY
LEVEL OF LISTENING TEXTS
• 1. Amount of information. The more information a
listening text contains, the more demanding listening in
detail would be. For example, news reports are
designed to contain the greatest number of information
in the least number of words possible, so listening to a
short news report could mean that you really have to
focus if you are listening in detail.
 FACTORS AFFECTING THE DIFFICULTY
LEVEL OF LISTENING TEXTS

• 2. Language. The language used in the text is a major

factor to consider. For example, the more unfamiliar
words there are, the more demanding listening could be.
If you are also listening to many long sentences, it
would require more effort from you.
• 3. Length. The longer the listening text, the more tiring
it could be on the part of the listener.
 FACTORS AFFECTING THE DIFFICULTY
LEVEL OF LISTENING TEXTS

• 4. Quality. Both in live talks and recordings, the less clearly

we hear the text, the more challenging comprehension will
be.
• 5. Speed and number of speakers. The faster the speakers
speak, the more effort it will require of us to follow what is
being said. If there are more people speaking, it will also be
more challenging to follow who is speaking to whom.
 FACTORS AFFECTING THE DIFFICULTY
LEVEL OF LISTENING TEXTS

• 6. Accent. The more unfamiliar the accent is, the

more challenging it will be to understand the text.
• 7. Topic. The more unfamiliar we are with the topic of
the listening text, the more demanding listening will
be.
10. You are listening to a news report, but the reporter is wearing a mask, so her words
are not very clear.
A. length C. accent
B. quality D. topic
11. You are listening to a recorded four-hour lecture.
A. the amount of information C. length
B. language D. speed
12. You are listening to a clip, but the speaker’s pronunciation is unfamiliar to you.

13. You are listening to a recorded Math lecture, but the lesson is too advanced for
your level.

 LISTENING
STRATEGIES
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
iCBO69h6r4c
 LISTENING STRATEGIES

1. Planning. If the listening task at hand is

part of an exam and not recreational,
planning how to accomplish the task
would be a very useful strategy. You can
do this by reading the instructions and the
questions before you start listening. By
doing this, you will know beforehand what
it is that you need to get from the listening
text – is it a name, a list, a number, or a
reason? This strategy is also very useful if
you are working under time pressure.
 LISTENING STRATEGIES

2. Asking for clarification. If it is a

listening task in which you can
interact with the speaker, you can
ask questions to clarify things you
have heard which are not clear to
you. For example, it could be a
word or an expression that you did
not hear.
 LISTENING STRATEGIES
3. Predicting content. Whether your task
is to listen for gist or listen for specific
information, you can already expect to
hear words like social media, share,
click, posts, scam, blog, photo, and
video. To be able to predict content, you
should be familiar with the topic. If you
have an idea what the content of the
talk is, it could help you follow the
discussion and do your task.
LISTENING STRATEGIES
• 4. Noting keywords.
Whatever the
listening purpose is,
you can always take
note of important
words that you hear
while listening.
 LISTENING STRATEGIES
• 5. Listening for transition/linking
words. This strategy could be used
especially if you are listening for gist
or specific information.
• 6. Listening selectively. This is the
strategy we use when we listen for
specific information. We ignore
irrelevant details and only pick out
what we need based on the listening
task.
 LISTENING
STRATEGIES
7. Using context clues. This is a
strategy that is useful not only
when reading but also when
listening. This is especially useful if
you encounter an unfamiliar word
and it is repeated several times in
the listening text. You can
determine its meaning by using
context clues, which means
considering the surrounding words
as clues.

Transition, Listening Selectively, Using Context Clues
