Introductory Message

For the learner:

Welcome to the English 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Using

Listening Strategies Based on Purpose!

In our everyday lives, one of the many skills that we use is listening. Upon
waking up in the morning, we listen to the sounds of the things around us and to the
songs that we like. We do listen to understand the message of the source but
sometimes, listening difficulties can also cause misunderstanding. Have you
experienced having trouble understanding the message of the person you are talking
to? How about when you listen to some news in the radio or
television?
Listening comprehension can be the
basis for your speaking and writing. You can
be able to write and speak properly, if you

 What I Need to know

Listening 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. Listening
should be given significance and much attention more than speaking and reading.
These skills are both important but sometimes listening activities are not given the
same attention compared to speaking and reading. Listening plays a very important
role in learning and understanding. If you failed to listen correctly and properly,
misunderstanding may occur. Therefore, one should be able to develop strategies in
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 can contribute to these difficulties.
Specifically, 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 poor vocabulary.
In this module, you are going to learn how to use listening strategies based on
purpose, familiarity with the topic and levels of difficulty of short texts listened to
(EN7LC-II-a6). Specifically, you should be able to:

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

2. predict content of the selection listened to base on skimming the
questions first;
3. determine the purpose of your listening;
4. get the gist of a short video on a particular scene that caught your
interest; 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 skill. 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.

What I Know

Before starting your journey in this module on becoming a better listener, let
us see what you already know about the lesson.

Instruction: Read the statements carefully. Write TRUE if the statement is correct
and write FALSE if it is incorrect. Write your answers in your English notebook.

1. We always understand what we listen to.

2. When we listen, we listen to every word that the speaker is saying.
3. We can predict or guess the topic that the speaker is sharing based on the
words that he or she uses.
4. We use our prior knowledge when we try to understand the message of
the speaker or the material we listen to.
5. It is important to listen to the whole material to get the message of the
speaker.
6. We only listen when we want to.
7. When we are listening to something and we do not understand it, we
should not listen to it anymore.
8. Listening to the material once is enough to understand its content.
9. We should take note when we listen.
10. Listening is very important in good communication.
11. We listen to understand.
12. We should prepare ourselves before listening to something or someone.
13. We should ignore words that are less important when we are listening.
14. When we listen to conversations, the words that people use help us to
infer the type of relationship they have with one another.
15. We will not experience problems when we listen.

What’s New
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 to 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 now going to listen to a song, read its lyrics, and may
choose to do any of 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.

Here is the lyrics of the song to guide you while listening.

I Don’t Want You to Go

(Music version: by Kyla; https://www.metrolyrics.com/i-dont-want-you-to-go-lyrics-kyla.html)
Somebody else
Here I am And love again
Alone and I don't understand
Exactly how it all began
And from the start
The dream just walked away
Maybe we were tryin' to hard
I'm holding on
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
When all but the passion's gone
Things can fall apart but I know
That I don't want you to go, no
And from the start
Maybe we were tryin' to hard
Maybe I was tryin' to hard
It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts
It's crazy coz it's breakin' my heart
Things can fall apart but I know
Things can fall apart but I know
That I don't want you to go
That I don't want you to go
Oh no, don't want you to go

And heroes die

When they ignore the cause inside
But they learn from what's left behind
And fight for something else
And so it goes
That we have both learned how to grow

(Repeat)

Oh it's just too much

Takin' all the whole world all by myself
But it's not enough
Unless I stop trusting somebody else

What is it?

Listening Strategies Based on Purpose

In the previous lesson, you have learned the main styles in reading. You have
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
know several strategies so you can completely understand the entire message and
avoid misunderstanding.

Direction: Read the following questions and try to answer these questions. Write
your answer in your notebook. After the discussion, check if you were able to answer
the questions correctly.

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:

9

 to obtain information;
 to understand;
 to learn;
 to communicate;
 to enjoy;

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.

(https://www.britishcouncil.org/voices-magazine/five-essential-listening-skills-english-learners)

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.

(https://www.britishcouncil.org/voices-magazine/five-essential-listening-skills-english-learners)

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.

(https://www.britishcouncil.org/voices-magazine/five-essential-listening-skills-english-learners)

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.

true?
3. Review your notes.
