reasons why you listen:

• to obtain information;
• to understand;
• to learn;

 Listening Strategies

1. TOP-DOWN

- Listener-based strategies
- Listener uses background
knowledge/schema, type of text, situation
or context and language
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.
 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.
 Listening Strategies

1. BOTTOM-UP
- Text-based strategies
- Listener attempts to make sense of
language, sound by sound, or word by
word; and rely on the language to get its
message.
 Listening Strategies

1. BOTTOM-UP
Examples:
Listening for specific details
Recognizing word-order patterns
Recognizing word sounds
Recognizing cognates
 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.
 Listening for Details

Identify whether the following listening
strategies are Top-down or Bottom Up.

1.Taking down notes

2.Listening for specific details
3.Identifying the speaker
4.Summarizing
5.Drawing inference
6. Recognizing cognates
7. Recognizing divisions between

patterns
