[Link] CONCEPT

Have you ever been in a situation where you find it difficult to understand what
someone is saying? What did you do?

To practice listening attentively, sit in a comfortable

position. Close your eyes and relax. Focus on the sounds that
you hear around you. Listen to these sounds individually and
try to identify them. You may hear the sound of an insect
flying. You may also hear footsteps of other people. Listen
well to these sounds. Focus on each sound and think about
them. Were you able to appreciate these sounds better when
your eyes were closed? What does this activity tell you about
listening?

When your eyes are closed, you are better able to focus. Because you are focused
on the sounds around you, you are more capable of “hearing” them. You appreciate these
sounds more compared to when your eyes are open or when you are busy talking. This
activity teaches the value of focusing or paying attention to the sounds that you hear. This
skill is very important in relaying or writing information gathered from oral communication,
because you cannot fully understand what you have not heard very well.

Listening skills allow you to understand what someone is saying. It is very important
because language learners, like you, need it to obtain information,
understand, learn, communicate, and enjoy. Listening is used
most frequently, but for second language learners, most of the
time, listening in English seems to be so hard.

Learning how to listen with understanding is not easily

achieved. That is why paying attention to developing your

1
RO_English_Grade 7_Q2_LP1
listening skills is very important. Using listening strategies is one of the helpful ways for the
learner to listen well and become an effective listener

Before you listen to a text, you should be aware of its different types. Likewise, you will
have to decide what your purpose is. Becoming aware of the type and your purpose will help
you to both focus on the important points and listen effectively to texts.

It is important to know that there are different types of listening:

❖ Listening for Gist

You listen in order to
understand the main idea of the
text. The main idea of a text is a
summary of the entire passage.
It is being supported by the
other parts of the text (specific
details or supporting ideas) that
provide additional information.
To get the general idea, the
whole passage must be heard
first and analyzed.

❖ Listening for specific information

You want to find out specific details, for example
key words. Specific information is often factual in
nature, for example, a name, a place, a profession, an
object, a number, or a quantity. When you listen for
specific information, you need to have some idea of
what you’re listening to before you listen and while
you’re listening.

❖ Listening for detailed understanding

You want to understand all the information the
text provides. This is even more important when you
hear instructions for doing something. These
instructions involve a series of steps to follow and are
called a process. This is an example of listening for
detailed understanding. To determine the steps in a
process, it is important that you listen very closely and
follow the steps being described. In a process, the order
of the instructions or steps must be followed as
described. You will only be able to accomplish the task
if the correct order or steps are followed.

To develop your listening skills, there are activities that contribute directly to the
comprehension and recall of listening inputs or known as listening strategies. These are ways
that could help you improve your listening skills.

RO_English_Grade 7_Q2_LP1
 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? Which words come to mind
that you already know? Which words would you want to look up?
2. If you must do a task on the listening text, check whether you have understood the
task correctly.
3. Think about what type of text you are going to listen to. What do you know about this
type of text?
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 do not understand, use your general knowledge
as well as the context to find out the meaning.
3. If you still do not understand something, use a dictionary to look up the words or ask
someone else for help.
4. Focus on key words 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. Have you understood the main points?
2. Remember the expectations you made before you listened. Did they come true?
3. Review your notes.
4. Check whether you have completed your task correctly.
5. Have you had any problems while listening? Do you have any problems now to
complete your task? Identify your problems and ask someone for help.
6. Listen again to difficult passages.

Now that you’ve learned about the different listening strategies, are you ready for the
succeeding activities?
