Quarter 2 - Module 1
Use Listening Strategies Based
on Purpose
 What I Need to Know

Listening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret

messages in the communication process1. It is a basic skill that needs
to be fully developed in order to attain effective communication. As a
learner, should develop your listening skill so that you will learn and
understand your lessons very well. In that way, you will become an
active listener.

However, there are some factors that hinder you from becoming
an active listener. These includes 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.

To address these problems, this module will guide you in

learning different 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. understand the message of the song listened to;

2. guess the content of the selection listened to base on

skimming the questions first;

3. identify the purpose of your listening;

4. draw out the gist of a short video on a particular scene that

caught your interest; and,

5. share experiences related to the material listened to.

As you go through this module, be patient. Follow each

instructions and directions in each activity. This will ensure that at
the end of each activity, your listening skill will be developed. Enjoy
and do your best.

Activity 1: Music, Maestro!

Songs affect our emotions and as a result, they affect our daily lives.
When we listen to sad songs, we tend to feel sad and when we listen to
happy songs, we tend to feel happy. Depending on how the song relates to
what we feel at the moment, we can have different interpretation of the same
song.

In this activity, you will listen to a song. As you listen, choose to do

any of the following:

1. Jot down words that catch your attention;

2. Enumerate as many feelings or emotions that the song may draw out
from you; or
3. Draw pictures or images which represents your emotions as you listen to
the song; or

4. Draw the message of the song.

5. Write your responses in your notebook.

Here is the song lyric to guide you as you listen. You may also sing along.

By Nikki Gil

Happy, to let you know I thank you for the glow

You make me glow
I feel so good, it's true
So glad that I have you
You love me so
Now all is bright I'll always thank
you for the glow
And thank you for the joy
Thank you for the love you give to me brings
I'm glowing, glowing inside
With your love shining through
Thank you for everything you do
I'm glowing inside because of you
Remember, my growing years
They're filled with joy
Because you're there for me
You cast my fears away
You wipe those tears
You gave me strength each day
And thank you for the joy
Thank you for the love you give to me

Because of you I'll sore up high

What is It

Listening Strategies Based on Purpose

“Are you listening?” That is a question often asked by your teachers.

Andyour answer is an automatic “Yes, Ma’am/Sir”. But do you really listen?
Many things are achieved when you learn to be an active listener. Do the
activity below and discover why we need to learn how to listen.

Direction: Read and answer the following questions. After the discussion,
check if you are 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 5 purposes of listening:

Listen to Get Main Idea

When you listen, make sure to get the main points presented by the
speaker. You must get the bigger picture of the message. Identify most the
important information that will give you the main idea of what the speaker is
talking about.

Listen to Get the Details

When you listen, take note of more specific details that will support
the main points or ideas presented by the speaker. Pay attention to
important details such as names, date, places, or objects. Listen to details
as to how or why some things happened. This way, you get the most
important specific details that will help you understand what you are
listening to.

Listen to Predict 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)

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

Listen to Enjoy

Listening for enjoyment involves attending to sounds for pleasure.

Through enjoyment listening people are entertained and emotionally and
physically affected as pleasure centers in the brain are activated. Paying
attention to music is one of the most popular forms of enjoyment listening.
Listening to sports broadcasts, comedians or poetry readings are other
examples of listening for pleasure.

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 be possibly 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 going to listen to.

4. Relax and make yourself ready to pay attention to the listening text.
* While You Listen

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 don’t understand, use your general
knowledge as well as context to find out the meaning.

3. If you still don’t 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 You Listen

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? Do you have any problem in
completing your task? Identify your problems and ask someone for help.

6. Listen again to difficult passages.
