∙ Processing of the Activity

As you may have already noticed, not all speeches, lectures, interviews are the same. In the public speech
above, for example, the speaker did not use any multi-media material to highlight the important parts of
her talk and used emphatic gestures and voice instead. Speakers in interviews, lectures, and public
speaking events may have their own style of presenting or talking which may influence the structure,
purpose, or the content of the message. On the one hand, it is helpful to listen carefully to the speakers’
style to accurately interpret their message. On the other hand, the fundamental technique to effectively
listen to these types of messages is to develop strategies that can work for all types of academic listening
materials.
