INTRODUCTION
Listening occupies about 45 percent of the time that adults spend in communication. It is also one of the most
challenging skills that learners need to develop as it is probably the least explicit among other skills. Listening
should be given significance and much attention more than speaking and reading. These skills are both
important but sometimes listening activities are not given the same attention compared to speaking and
reading. Listening plays a very important role in learning and understanding. If you failed to listen correctly
and properly, misunderstanding may occur. Therefore, one should be able to develop strategies in good
listening.
However, several difficulties may occur while listening to other people who are talking, conversing or
speaking in public. Several factors such as the speaker, the listener and, the environment can contribute to
these difficulties.
Specifically, some of the factors that contribute to these challenges are: the speed and manner of
which the speaker uses; the noise in the environment; the listener’s poor background or knowledge of the
topic; and poor vocabulary.
Activity 1: Let the Music Play
Songs play different roles in our lives. Sometimes, it allows us to express what we feel. It can also
help us to reminisce our childhood memories or other remarkable experiences. Depending on how the song
relates to what we feel at the moment, we can have different interpretation on a same song.
For this activity, you are now going to listen to a song, read its lyrics, and do the following:
1. jot down the words that caught your attention;
2. write vocabulary words which may represent the emotion that you feel as you listen to the song;
3. draw images which could represent the message of the song;
4. enumerate as many feelings that the song may draw out from you; and,
5. write your responses in your notebook.
To listen to the song, you may browse the link https://www.metrolyrics.com/i-dont-want-you-to-go-lyricskyla.html. Then answer the guide question that follows.
I Don’t Want You to Go
(Music version: by Kyla)
Here I am
That I don't want you to go, no
Alone and I don't understand
Exactly how it all began
Maybe we were tryin' to hard
The dream just walked away
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
I'm holding on
Things can fall apart but I know
When all but the passion's gone
That I don't want you to go
Oh no, don't want you to go
And from the start
Maybe I was tryin' to hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' my heart
Things can fall apart but I know
That I don't want you to go
And heroes die
When they ignore the cause inside
But they learn from what's left behind
And fight for something else
Guide Questions:
And so it goes
That we have both learned how to grow
Oh it's just too much
Takin' all the whole world all by myself
Unless I stop trusting somebody else
Somebody else
And love again
And from the start
Maybe we were tryin' to hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart but I know
Are you familiar with the song?

song?

Listening Strategies Based on Purpose
In the previous lesson, you have learned the main styles in reading. You have learned that as
you read, you should know your purpose to identify the most appropriate reading strategy to be
used. While in listening, it is also important to know several strategies so you can completely
understand the entire message and avoid misunderstanding.
Activity 3: Listen Well
Directions: Read the following questions and try to answer them.
1. What are the factors to consider when you listen?
2. What are the things to do when you listen?
3. Why do you listen to someone or something?
4. Why does a person need to listen?
Here are some of the reasons why you listen:

to obtain information

to understand

to learn

to communicate

to enjoy
Here are some of the things that you should do while you are listening:
Listening for the Main Idea
The purpose of listening is to grasp the main points or general information
presented by the speaker or from the audio/video you are listening to. When you listen,
there are times when you get stuck on a detail, on a word or on a phrase that you do
not understand. This can hinder you to see the bigger picture of the message.
When you are listening to get the main idea, you can possibly get the whole
picture by being able to identify one crucial difference. Information comes in a
sequence and in that sequence, there are content words like nouns, pronouns and
adjectives that can help you form the picture. Therefore, you need to listen more
carefully and attentively to capture the entire message.

Listening for Details
You listen to gather specific important details or information. When you listen
to get specific details like names, date, object or place, you do not need to put your
attention to the entire message of the selection that you are listening to. You can ignore
anything that does not sound relevant. This way, you can narrow down your search
and get the detail that you need. You can also select the materials that you are going
to listen when you need the specific details.

Predicting the Content
Your knowledge in the world helps you anticipate the kind of information you
are likely to hear. When you are listening to a news, you can often predict the kind of
words or language that will be used. Your stock knowledge or any stored information
in the brain can also help us predict the topic of a specific content.

Inferring the Meaning
When you listen, it is also important to infer the meaning presented by the speaker
using clues and your prior knowledge to work out the meaning of what you hear.
Similarly, you can infer relationship between people from the words they use. People
who have intimate relationships usually use informal language and those who have
work relationships usually use formal language. By using context clues, you can
identify what is being said, who is speaking, and what is taking place.

Suggestions for Improving Your Listening Skills
Before You Listen
1. Think about the topic of the text you are going to listen to. What do you
already know about it? What could possibly be the content of the text?
2. If you have to do a task on listening, check whether you have
understood the task correctly.
3. Think about what kind of text you are
6 going to listen to.
4. Relax and make yourself ready to pay attention to the listening text.
While You Are Listening
1. It is not necessary to understand every single word. Try to ignore those words
that you think are less important anyway.
2. If there are words or issues that you don’t understand, use your general
knowledge as well as context to find out the meaning.
3. If you still don’t understand something, use a dictionary to look up the words
or ask someone else for help.
4. Focus on keywords and facts.
5. Take notes to support your memory.
6. Intonation and stress of the speakers can help you understand what you hear.
7. Try to think ahead. What might happen next? What might the speakers say?
Which words might they use?
After Listening
1. Think about the text again. Did you understand the main point?
2. Remember the speculations you made before listening. Did it turn out to be
true?
3. Review your notes.
4. Check whether you have completed your task correctly.
5. Did you have any problem while listening or completing the task?
6. Listen again to difficult passages.
