A. What is Listening?

⇨ Listening is an active, purposeful process of making sense of


what we hear.
⇨ Listening is very active. As people listen, they process not
only what they hear but also connect it to other information
they already know.
⇨ Listening is often compared to reading, the other receptive
skill.
B. Background to the teaching of listening

⇨Historically, learning a foreign language meant learning to


read and write. Listening was virtually ignored. Then, in
the late 1800s, interest in using children’s learning of their
first language as a model for foreign language teaching
grew.
⇨Listening was seen as a major source of comprehensible
input.
C. Principles for teaching listening

1. Expose students to different ways of processing


information: bottom-up vs. top-down.
2. Expose students to different types of listening.
3. Teach a variety of tasks.
4. Consider text, difficulty, and authenticity.
5. Teach listening strategies
D. Classroom techniques and tasks

1. Modifying materials to add “listening for specific information”


⇨ Micro-listening
⇨ Bits and pieces
⇨ What do I want to know?
⇨ Dictation and cloze
⇨ What are they talking about?
D. Classroom techniques and tasks

2. Adding gist tasks


⇨ Main ideas
⇨ What is the order?
⇨ Which picture?
3. Inference
⇨ Focus on emotions
⇨ Look for background information
E. Listening in the classroom

In considering activities in the classroom, the flow


suggested below is often a useful way to structure a lesson plan to
include listening:
⇨ A warm-up activity that integrates top-down and bottom-up
data.
⇨ A main listening task.
⇨ A speaking task related to the previous task.
F. Conclusion

⇨ Prelistening tasks are suggested as ways to integrate a


learner’s processing.

⇨ Exposing learners to a variety of tasks, as well as different


types of listening, is helpful in enabling them to become
more skillful listeners.
