What I Need to Know

Listening plays a very important role in learning and understanding. It

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. 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 contribute to these difficulties.
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 the poor vocabulary.
In this module, you are going to learn how to use listening strategies based

READY-TO-
on purpose, familiarity with the topic and levels of difficulty of short texts

PRINT
listened to (EN7LC-II-a6). Specifically, you should be able to:

1. draw out the message of the song listened to;

2. extract details in a news report listened to;
3. interview a successful local personality via phone call or video call;
4. provide answers to questions based on a recording, and;
5. share experiences related to the material listened to.

In going through the module, remind yourself to be patient in doing the activities
while developing your listening skills. Make sure that you are guided with the
instructions and directions in each activity. If you are experiencing difficulties, take a
deep breath, relax and look into what you have not understood. Enjoy completing all
the tasks and give your best.

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 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 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://bit.ly/3qNR7vC . Then answer
the guide question that follow.

I Don’t Want You to Go

(Music version: by Kyla)
Here I am Exactly how it all began
Alone and I don't understand The dream just walked away
I'm holding on
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

Guide Questions:
And so it goes
1. Are you familiar with the song?
That we have both learned how to grow
2. What is the message of the
song?
(Repeat)
Oh it's just too much
Takin' all the whole world all by myself
But it's not enough 4
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
That I don't want you to go, no

Maybe we were tryin' to hard

It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
Things can fall apart but I know

Listening Strategies Based on Purpose

In the previous lesson, you have learned the main styles in reading. You also
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

READY-TO-
know several strategies so you can completely understand the entire message and

PRINT
avoid misunderstanding with others.

Activity 2: Listen Well

Directions: Read and answer the following questions. Write your answer in your
English notebook.

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 communicate
● to understand ● to enjoy
● to learn

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.

READY-TO-
Listening for Details

PRINT
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.
Source: https://bit.ly/3jwqpGd

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.
Source: https://bit.ly/3xeCgwm

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.

READY-TO-
4. Relax and make yourself ready to pay attention to the listening text.

PRINT
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 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 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.
