3. Listening & its importance
• Listening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages in
the communication process
• Listening is a crucial part of daily communication in any language.
• It accounts for half of verbal activity and plays a vital role in
educational, professional, social, and personal situations.
• Listening is one of the most important skills you can have.
4. Some tips to improve listening
• Discriminating between the distinctive sounds of the language.
• Recognizing stress patterns of words.
• Recognizing intonation patterns to signal information structure.
• Detecting key words.
• Guessing the meaning of words from context.
• Recognizing grammatical word classes.
• Recognizing cohesive devices.
• Inferring links and connections between events.
• Processing speech at different rates.
• Identifying the topic and following its development.
5. Listening Strategies
There are three strategies that are critical in coping with listening tasks.
• Cognitive strategies: Predicting and guessing words from context, help
organize listening to complete a task, achieve comprehension, and
promote learning.
• Metacognitive strategies, or thinking about listening: Facilitate planning,
monitoring, evaluating, and reflecting on the listening process.
(understanding the main idea).
• Socio-affective strategies: It involves communicating with teachers,
classmates, and native speakers, as well as developing self-confidence and
motivation.
6. Types of Listening – Intensive Listening
The following classification of listening exercises is based on Rost’s
(2011) framework of different types of listening.
• Intensive Listening: It means paying close attention to the language
of the listening text to single out words or phrases, grammatical
structures, specific sounds, or intonation patterns.
Some examples of intensive listening activities are:
1. Transcription
2. Different types of dictations
7. Types of Listening – Selective Listening
3. Cloze (inserting words into blank spaces in a passage)
4. Dictogloss (listening to and then reconstructing a text)
5. Sentence completion
6. Error correction (comparing a spoken and a written text)
• Selective Listening: It involves concentrating on specific details with a
deliberate purpose in mind. It is usually done to extract information in
response to a particular task, such as Listen and say when the train
leaves or Write down the telephone number etc.
8. Types of Listening – Selective Listening
To engage in selective listening, one could practice:
1. Following directions and instructions.
2. Taking notes.
3. Answering specific questions about amounts, dates, time, facts etc.
4. Predicting what will be said next after the recording has been
stopped.
5. Listing the sequence of steps, events, or topics mentioned in the text
9. Types of Listening – Intensive/Extensive Listening
• Intensive listening: It focuses on the precise language of the message.
• Extensive listening: It focuses on general comprehension of the text. It
means getting the overall meaning and enjoying the content rather
than seeking answers to specific questions.
• It exposes students to different voices and styles, improves
automaticity in processing spoken language, and builds confidence in
dealing with the spoken input.
10. Types of Listening – Extensive Listening
The following activities are based on extensive listening:
• Summarizing.
• Rating content as more or less interesting.
• Using visual organizers (e.g., K-W-L [know, want, learn] and
who/where/what/when charts)
• Filling out listening logs, in which students record their listening goals
and strategies for each text.
• Practicing flood listening, in which students listen to several
recordings on self-selected topics.
11. Types of Listening – Interactive Listening
• Interactive listening: This requires the listener to participate in the
conversation by alternating between listening and speaking. This
back-and forth interaction involves not only listening but also
producing the language: negotiating the meaning, confirming
understanding, taking turns, and delivering an appropriate response.
Common interactive listening exercises include
• Interviews
• Discussions
• Partial dialogues, in which one listens to a speaker and respond
12. Types of Listening – Responsive Listening
• Information-gap activities, in which students exchange information to fulfil
the task
• Jigsaw listening, in which groups of students listen to different parts of the
message and then reconstruct the whole together.
• Responsive listening makes the listener relate to the content of the text by
expressing an opinion, a feeling, or a point of view. Rather than appealing
to facts, it elicits personal attitudes and emotions. This type of response
may be coloured by one’s sociocultural background because the same
content could cause different reactions from different cultures. It is
intellectually demanding as it requires both understanding and expressing
one’s reaction, its personal dimension appeals to many.
13. Types of Listening - Responsive Listening
Examples of responsive activities are:
• Problem-solving tasks
• Sharing and responding to personal experiences • evaluative tasks, or
making judgments about the truth, probability, and so forth
• Paused listening, or responding to short parts of the text by making
connections to personal experiences, world events, and so forth
• Interpretative listening, or making inferences and deductions
14. Note Making / Taking
• Note Making is a process of reviewing, connecting and synthesising
ideas from your lectures or reading.
Difference Between Note-Making and Note-Taking
Note-taking: It refers to jotting down notes while listening to lectures,
audio, videos, tapes, dictation, etc. You write them down as the
speaker speaks and the note-taker does not have much control in this
process. This is because your note-taking is dependent on your ability
to decipher, interpret, and write down what is being spoken.
15. Note Making / Taking
• Note-making: It is the process of reorganizing your thoughts and ideas
and putting them in words. It usually refers to making notes from
another source like a textbook or a website. This process allows more
control to the note-maker as it can be done at their own pace.
• Note taking tips
1. Listen, think and take notes at the same time.
2. Focus on what the lecturer/speaker is saying and not on the delivery.
3. Do not write in complete sentences and remember to use
abbreviations.
16. Tips for Note Taking
4. Decide what is a main idea and sub ideas.
5.Distinguish between essential and non-essential information.
5. Paraphrase
6. Immediately after the lecture/speech, read, review and revise, then
write a short summary that includes the key ideas.
18. Methods of Note Making
• Linear Method. (descriptive)
• Spider gram Method.(Key words)
• Linear Method: In this method of taking or making notes, the
information is organized in the order of importance using indentation,
listing, numbering/lettering, etc.

21. Spidergram
• A spidergram, also known as a mind map, is a diagram in which ideas
are linked to each other by lines, usually starting from the middle
and working outwards, making the diagram look a little like the web
of a spider.
• (spidergram is a combination of the words spiderweb and diagram).
