Principles for Teaching Listening

1. Expose students to different ways of

processing information

± Bottom-up vs. Top-down ± Interactive

2. Expose students to different types of

listening

3. Teach a variety of tasks

4. Consider text, difficulty, and authenticity



Listening Strategies

Teach student how to listen

± Looking for keywords ± Looking for nonverbal cues to meaning

± Predicting a speaker¶s pur pose by the context of the spoken discourse

± Associating information with one¶s existingbackground knowledge (activating schema)

± Guessing meanings

± Seeking clarification ± Listening for the general gist ± For tests of listening comprehension, various test-

taking strategies



Understanding

Words andConcepts



Listening requires that children build up a listening

vocabulary of words that they understand.

They must know names of objects actions, qualities

and more abstract concepts.

This can be built into the preschool experience by

emphasizing the names of objects and continuously

repeating abstract concepts out loud as they are being

demonstrated.

UnderstandingSentences



Listening skills are essential for learning since theyenable students to acquire insights and information,

and to achieve success in communicating with others.

Poor listening can lead to unnecessary arguments andproblems.

Students¶ listening skills may be enhanced and testedby asking them questions about what they have heard.



They may be given practice in note-taking and could beasked questions about the facts and inferences thatmay be made from their notes.

They can be taught to recognize the differencebetween the main points and incidental or less relevant

ideas and information.

Learners can also benefit from practice in recognizingthe pur pose of presentations and other information theyhear . It can be useful if they are taught to set goals for

what they want to learn from a presentation and tomonitor how well they accomplish their goals.

Students can be taught to listen selectively for specific

kinds of information, such as the main pur pose, thethemes, the details and any implications.



In the classroom, students listen in order to repeatand to understand.

In listening to repeat, students imitate and memorizelinguistic items such as words, idioms, and sentence

patterns.

This is an important beginning task and focus of listening exercises.

Students listen to understand as part of using

English for communication pur poses.

In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was

hopping about, chir ping and singing to its heart'scontent. An Ant passed by, bearing along with

great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

1



"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper,

"instead of toiling and moiling in that way?³

"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant,"and recommend you to do the same."

2



"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper;

"We have got plenty of food at present." But the

Ant went on its way and continued its toil.

3



When the winter came the Grasshopper had no foodand found itself dying of hunger - while it saw theants distributing every day corn and grain from thestores they had collected in the summer . Then theGrasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for days of need.

What is "critical listening?³

` Critical listening is a form of listening that if usually

not mentioned, since it involves analysis, critical

thinking and judgment. Making judgments duringlistening is often considered as a barrier to

understand a person, and there's a lot of truth in

that.



` However, critical listening occurs when you still

want to understand what the other person is

saying, but also have some reason or

responsibility to evaluate what is being said to youand how it is being said



` For example, if there's an upcoming election and

you need to decide who to vote for, you probably

use some form of critical listening when you watch

a televised debate. You listen, AND you evaluate.



` While experts on learning and communication

almost universally demean the importance and

value of critical listening, when it comes to real life,

listening critically is used every day.



` The key though, is to try to understand the other

person FIRST, before one evaluates.
