Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. Effective language instructors show students how they can adjust their listening behavior to deal with a variety of situations, types of input, and listening purposes. They help students develop a set of listening strategies and match appropriate strategies to each listening situation. Listening Strategies Listening strategies are techniques or activities that contribute directly to the comprehension and recall of listening input. Listening strategies can be classified by how the listener processes the input. Top-down strategies are listener based; the listener taps into background knowledge of the topic, the situation or context, the type of text, and the language. This background knowledge activates a set of expectations that help the listener to interpret what is heard and anticipate what will come next. Top-down strategies include listening for the main idea 1. predicting 2. drawing inferences 3. summarizing Bottom-up strategies are text based; the listener relies on the language in the message, that is, the combination of sounds, words, and grammar that creates meaning. Bottom-up strategies include listening for specific details 1. recognizing cognates 2. recognizing word-order patterns 3. Strategic listeners also use metacognitive strategies to plan, monitor, and evaluate their listening. They plan by deciding which listening strategies will serve best in a particular situation. They monitor their comprehension and the effectiveness of the selected strategies. They evaluate by determining whether they have achieved their listening comprehension goals and whether the combination of listening strategies selected was an effective one. Listening for Meaning To extract meaning from a listening text, students need to follow four basic steps: 1. Figure out the purpose for listening. Activate background knowledge of the topic in order to predict or anticipate content and identify appropriate listening strategies. 2. Attend to the parts of the listening input that are relevant to the identified purpose and ignore the rest. This selectivity enables students to focus on specific items in the input and reduces the amount of information they have to hold in short-term memory in order to recognize it. 3. Select top-down and bottom-up strategies that are appropriate to the listening task and use them flexibly and interactively. Students” comprehension improves and their confidence increases when they use top-down and bottom-up strategies simultaneously to construct meaning. 4. Check comprehension while listening and when the listening task is over. Monitoring comprehension helps students detect inconsistencies and comprehension failures, directing them to use alternate strategies. （三） � ? Focus your mind on what the speaker is saying. ? Wait until the speaker is done before adding your thoughts. ? Listen and absorb everything being said. Wait to respond until you”ve heard the entire message. � ? Ask questions to help clarify the concept or subject. ? Smiling or nodding your head while someone speaks lets them know you”re listening and comprehending.
