LISTENING FOR COMPREHENSION

I- Write in brief about the importance of listening, purpose of listening, barriers

to listening and effective listening.
Ans. Importance of listening
1. Listening is the first means of acquiring information

2. Listening is the first means of learning new language

3. Helps to solve problems

4. Helps in framing plans and policies

5. Helps to share information

6. Helps in decision-making

7. Helps to know organization

8. Develops better relations

9. Provides encouragement

The Purpose of Listening

Listening serves a number of possible purposes, and the purpose of listening will
depend on the situation and the nature of the communication.

1. Tospecifically focus on the messages being communicated, avoiding distractions and

preconceptions.

2. To gain a full and accurate understanding into the speaker’s point of view and ideas.

3. To critically assess what is being said.

4. Toobserve the non-verbal signals accompanying what is being said to enhance

understanding.

5. To show interest, concern and concentration.

6. To encourage the speaker to communicate fully, openly and honestly.

7. To develop an selflessness approach, putting the speaker first.

8. To arrive at a shared and agreed understanding and acceptance of both sides’ views.
Barriers to Listening

Effective listening is hindered by many barriers such as physical (environment

disturbance, such as loud or distracting noises) and psychological barriers (on the
part both the sender and the receiver).

Some common barriers in the process of listening are listed below:

• Pre-judgments about the process of the speaker or the topic.

• Arriving late for a speech, presentation or lecture.

• Interrupting the speaker.

• Judging the speaker by his / her mannerism, voice, appearance, accent, etc.

• Lack of concentration / interest.

• Avoiding listening to boring or difficult to understand information.

• Listening selectively.

• Being distracted by disturbance.

Effective listening

• Listening is the crucial component of the communication process.

• Effective listening is the skills required to maintain professional and personal

relationships.

• Ineffective listening leads to a breakdown of communication.

• Effective listening enables us to evaluate the strong and weak points of a

massage and give useful feedback and constructive criticism.

• Listening has a profound effect on the development of our

attitude, behavioral patterns, skills, and interpretation and

understanding of the world we live in.

ORGANS OF SPEECH

I- Label the organs of speech given in the diagram

Organs of Speech
II- INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET (IPA)

1. Write the symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)

Ans: English language has twenty vowel sounds and twenty-four consonants.

Vowels

Vowel sounds are divided into Monophthongs and Diphthongs.

Monophthongs or Pure Vowels

/ɪ/ kill, fill

/iː/ feel, meet

/e/ bet, set

/æ/ cat, mat

/ɑː/ car, park

/ɒ/ pot, cot

/ɔː/ Ball, fall

/ʊ/ put, good

/uː/ shoot, root

/ʌ/ cut, but

/ɜː/ heard, bird

/ə/ about, around

 Diphthongs

/aɪ/ Cry, My, Like, Bright, Lime

/eɪ/ Bake, rain, lay, eight, break

/əʊ/ Go, oh, slow, loan, though

/aʊ/ Bound, house

/eə/ Pair, lair, chair

/ɪə/ Career, fear

/ɔɪ/ Boy, coy, toy

/ʊə/ poor, sure

Consonants

There are twenty-four consonant sounds in English, and they are

divided into different groups using three criteria: 1. place of
articulation, 2. manner of articulation 3. voicing

By “Place of Articulation”, we mean the speech organs that are involved

in the production of the consonant in question. Some sounds are produced
with the two lips, some with the tongue and teeth, the tongue and alveolar
ridge etc. Using this criterion, we have seven types of consonant sounds:

Bilabial: The two lips are the articulators.

Labio- dental: It is produced by the lower lip and upper teeth.

Dental: The tip of the tongue and upper front teeth are the

articulators. Alveolar: The tip or blade of the tongue and the

teeth ridge are the articulators. Post alveolar: Tip of the tongue

and back of the teeth ridges are the articulators. Palatal: The

front of the tongue and the hard palate are the articulators.

Palatal alveolar: The tip, blade and front of the tongue and teeth ridges
and hard palate are articulators.
Velar: The back of the tongue and soft palate are the articulators.

Glottal: Produced at the glottis and the two vocal cords are the articulators.

By “Manner of Articulation”, we mean the manner in which the pulmonic air

(the air we use to form speech sounds) escapes from the mouth. With some
sounds, the air is completely.

blocked, with some, it escapes with difficulty through the mouth, and
with some others it escapes through the nostrils. Using these criteria,
we have six types of consonant sounds:

Plosive/stop: It is a consonant produced with a structure of complete

closure in the mouth and sudden release of air. Ex:/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/.

Nasal: A nasal consonant is articulated with a structure of complete oral closer

and air
passed through the nose. Ex:/m/, /n/, /ŋ/

Fricative: In the production of a fricative consonant the structure is one of

close
approximation, for the escape of air stream to produce strong friction.: Ex: :/f/,
/v/, /θ/, //ð/,
/s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/.

Affricate: If the stop is not held for any appreciable time and released
slowly, we get an affricate:/ tʃ/,/ dʒ/

Lateral: It is a consonant produced by a structure of complete closure

in the centre of the vocal tract but the air has a free passage on the
sides. /l/.

Approximants: It refers to sounds that are articulated with a

structure of open approximation. They are also called semi-
vowels.: /j/, /w/, /r/

By “Voicing”, we mean whether or not there is vibration in the vocal

cords when the sound is produced. Using this criterion, we have two types
of sound 1. voiceless sounds (those produced without vibration) and 2.
voiced sounds (those produced with vibration).

 WORKSHEET #8 (Activity:5)

ASKING FOR AND GIVING INFORMATION

I-State different expressions used for asking and giving information.

A: Asking for information can be as simple as asking for the time, or as complicated as
asking for details about a complicated process. In both cases, it's important to use the
appropriate form for the situation. For example, when asking for information from a friend,
use a more informal or colloquial form. When asking a colleague, use a slightly more formal
form, and when asking for information from a stranger, use an appropriately formal
construction. Very Informal Structures If you are asking a friend or family member for
information, use a direct question.
Simple Question Structure: When? + Helping Verb + Subject + Verb
How much does it cost?

Where does she live?

More Formal Structures

Use these forms for simple, everyday questions in stores, with colleagues at work, and
in other informal situations.
Structure: Pardon me / Excuse me + Can / could you tell me + Why? + Subject + verb?
Ex: Can you tell me when the train arrives?

Pardon me, could you tell me how much the book costs?

Formal and More Complicated Questions

Use these forms when asking complicated questions that

require a lot of information.

These should also be used when asking questions of

Important people such as your boss, on a job interview, etc.

Structure: I wonder if you could + tell me/explain/provide

information on...

I wonder if you could explain how health insurance is handled at

your company.

I wonder if you could provide information on your pricing

 structure.

Structure: Would you mind + verb + ing

Would you mind telling me a little bit more about benefits at this company?
Would you mind going over the savings plan again?

Replying to a Request for Information

If you would like to provide information when asked for information, start your reply with one
of the following phrases.

Informal

 Sure.
 No problem.
 Let me see.

More Formal

 I'd be happy to answer that.

 I should be able to answer your question.
 It'd be a pleasure to help you.

When providing information people will sometimes also offer to help in other ways. See the
example conversations below for an example.

Saying No

If you do not have the answer to a request for information, use one of the phrases below to
indicate that you are unable to answer the question. Saying 'no,' is never fun, but sometimes it's
necessary. Instead, it's common to offer a suggestion as to where someone might find the
information.

Informal

 Sorry, I can't help you out.

 Sorry, but I don't know that.
 That's beyond me, sorry.

More Formal

 I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that question.

 I'd like to help you. Unfortunately, I don't have that information / don't know.

II- Give the tips on how to make an announcement text:

A:1. Announcement Text must be written concisely, clearly and easily understood.

statement, but an announcement can also increase people’s level of trust in what
you are conveying, especially if you are about to announce a new product to
potential buyers.

to overdo it so as not to change the purpose of the announcement.
