23. Suggestion for Improving
Listening Skills

24. Communication is an everyday activity.
Have you ever gone a day without talking?
How were you able to know what to say or
reply to the one you are talking to?
Your answer to the last question: listening.
Good!
But honestly speaking, was there a time
when you did not know how to respond?

25. Listening has been a skill oftentimes
ignored. Remember that hearing is not
listening. What you heard might be forgotten
but what you listened to may be kept in the
heart and shared with others.
Listening is intentional hearing. You
understand, examine and answer to what
you hear. To make you a better listener,
these seven common listening strategies
will help:

26.  NOTING DETAILS
This is like selective listening. You filter the ideas and
ignore anything that is not connected because you are
only looking for particular information – maybe a name
or object, a word or phrase. With this, you can shorten
the long list and get the needed information.
If you know how to distinguish the key words or
phrase (the most important idea or concept stated in
the shortest way possible), then you are good to
go.

27.  EXTRACTING INFORMATION
Extracting information is getting the
unstated fact from the text. It is similar
to reading between the lines (therefore
making it listening between the lines).
This is your ability to determine ideas
that are not literally or directly stated
from the text.

28.  RECOGNIZING MAIN IDEAS
Being able to identify the main point
discussed in the text listened to is also
an important skill. With this, you don’t
need to listen word by word but take the
text idea by idea. You could listen to one
paragraph as a whole and just think
what topic do all the sentences
conclude to.

29.  MAKING PREDICTIONS
You are not guessing but making a
hypothesis.
This means you based your hunch on
premises or ideas before arriving to an
educated guess.
This skill makes it easy for you to answer
the question “What happens next?”.

30. DETERMINING TONE AND MOOD
Determining the tone and mood is
knowing the feelings of the speaker or
character based on the dialogues
heard.
When you hear the lines, what could the
character or speaker be feeling?

31.  INFERRING THE PURPOSE
“What is the message of the text listened
to?” - this is the question the purpose is
going to answer.
Inferring the purpose means knowing
what the text is for. So, you may also be
asked, “Why did the author write the text?”.

32.  INFERRING THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
Inferring thoughts and feelings is almost the
same with determining tone and mood. The only
difference is that the emotions are from you, the
listener.
To put into question, “What did you feel while
listening to the text?” or “What do you think
about this particular situation or concept in the
text?”.
