Paraphrasing
What is it?
Restating a message, but usually with fewer words. Where possible try and get more to the point.
Purpose:
1. To test your understanding of what you heard.
2. To communicate that you are trying to understand what is being said. If you’re successful,
paraphrasing indicates that you are following the speaker’s verbal explorations and that you’re
beginning to understand the basic message.
When listening consider asking yourself:
• What is the speaker’s basic thinking message
• What is the person’s basic feeling message
E.g.
S: I just don’t understand, one minute she tells me to do this, and the next minute to do that.
X: She really confuses you.
S: I really think he is a very nice guy. He’s so thoughtful, sensitive, and kind. He calls me a lot. He’s fun
to go out with.
X: You like him very much, then.
