 Lesson 1
Listening Strategies
What I Need to Know
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:
1. identify the different types of listening , its purposes and strategies;
2. use different listening strategies; and
3. value the importance of the different listening strategies

What’s New

As a student, you are exposed to many kinds of messages. You receive messages
conveying academic information, school policies, instructions, and warnings; you also
receive messages through news, advertisements, gossip, jokes, song lyrics, text
messages, invitations, web links, and all other contexts or manners of communication.
You know it’s not all the same you get the total meaning of the message. If you have poor
listening habits, there would be no understanding at all. When a student develops and
uses different listening strategies, they allow the student to achieve more productive and
more permanent learning.
Task 1: Meaningful Image
Directions: Look at the image closely. Make 5 comments of what you have observed
from the picture. Enumerate your observations in complete sentences in your notebook.

Task 2: Describing Qualities
Directions: Label the boxes with your own descriptions of the qualities of a good listener.

A Good Listener is someone who …

9
 What Is It
How do you listen especially during lectures? Do you use techniques or
strategies when you listen? What are those strategies for example?
What is listening?
Listening is a skill. It is one of the communication
skills like reading, speaking and writing. Listening is a sound
vibration, as perceived by the sense of hearing. In other
words, it’s an act of hearing attentively. Sixty percent of our
working day is spent in listening but one third to one fourth
percent of what we hear is forgotten after eight hours, a fact
which indicates that learning how to listen well is very
important.
What is the difference between hearing and listening?

Listening is not the same as hearing. People usually hear the entire message, but
too often its meaning is lost or distorted. Hearing is a physical, natural and passive
process whereas listening is a physical & mental process; active and learned process.
Listening is hard because the listener must grasp the speaker’s message and point of
view. This requires creative listening (active listening for total meaning).

Before you listen to a text, you will have to decide what your purpose is. Becoming
aware of this fact will help you to both focus on the important points and reach your goal.

Task 3: Tell Which Purpose

Directions: Match the listening purposes in Column A with their corresponding
descriptions in Column B. Write the letter of the correct answer in the Your Answer
Column.

Your Answer Column A Column B

Listening for specific A. You want to find out specific details, for
1.
information example key words.
Listening for detailed B. You want to understand the main idea of the
2.
understanding text.
C. You want to understand all the information the
3. Listening for gist
text provides.

In order to improve your listening skills, you must apply certain listening strategies
that support the listening process. Listening strategies are techniques or activities that
contribute directly to the comprehension and recall of listening input.
10
Task 4: Agree or Disagree?
Directions: Read the statements about listening strategies in the table and put a check
mark (  ) in the column that corresponds to your response.

AGREE DISAGREE STATEMENTS

1. When listening to a text, you should relax and make yourself

ready to pay attention.
2. If you have to do a task on the listening text, check whether
you have understood the task correctly.
3. Showing eye contact to the speaker is not necessary when
listening.
4. Think about the topic and the type of the text you are going
to listen to.
5. When listening to a text, focus on key words and facts.
6. Stress and intonation cannot help you understand what you
hear.
7. Take notes to support your memory when listening.

8. After listening, you should review and rewrite your notes.

9. Identify any problems you encountered during listening and
check if you have completed the task.
10. Speaker’s gestures and facial expressions don’t help you
achieve meaningful listening.
11. Reread your notes after listening to help the information
stick.
12. Ask questions if there may be points that need clarification.
