C. Discussion
LESSON 1
Before you listen to a text, you should be aware of its communicative purpose. Are you listening
for an important information? Or, are you preserving a relationship with your peers or loved ones?
Becoming aware of this fact will help you to both focus on the important points and reach your
goal.
Two Purposes of Language
1. Transactional Language is used to make transactions. Its purpose is to transfer facts and
information. In churches, hospitals, schools, offices and banks, the listener is expected to hear
people use formal language in conversations. Here are some of the examples:

2. Interactional Language is used to maintain social relationship. The purpose of

communication here is to create a positive atmosphere, build stronger relationship, deeper
connection with others and create a comfort zone and trust. It may be through chatting with
friends, greeting someone we met or sharing experiences with family members which may
use informal or everyday language.
LESSON 2
Listening to a topic where there’s familiarity enables the listener to relate to their personal
experiences and background knowledge. This plays an important role in connecting the new
information with your existing knowledge.

Here are some strategies to become familiar with a text, improve your listening skills and
become an active listener.

Before-Listening Strategies
1. Connect - Help yourself better understand a listening assignment by thinking of things you
already know about a topic. This helps your mind build connections between what you know and
new information you will hear.
2. Predict - Make guesses about what you may learn as you listen. Guessing helps your brain
focus on the assignment. It doesn’t matter if your guesses are right or wrong.
3. Talk about New Words - Make sure you understand words in the title and in any introductory
material. Have a brief conversation in your head to clarify key words.

During-Listening Strategies
4. Listen for Answers- As you listen, be listening for answers to questions you have. Looking
for answers to questions gives you a reason to listen and keeps your mind active and alert.
5. Take Notes - Write notes that help you remember ideas. Outlining and layering information is
always a good idea, but try other imaginative ways of taking notes: Use connected circles and
shapes, create a chart, or draw a map.
6. Re-listen/Find a Fix - When you get bored or when ideas are hard, you need to find a way to
get back on track. The best way to fix things is to re-listen. You don’t have to wait until the end
to re-listen. Sometimes a quick backtracking and re-listening to a line or two can quickly clear up
confusion.

After-Listening Strategies
7. Respond - What do you agree and disagree with? What parts do you like best? What parts are
confusing?
8. Summarize - Read your lecture notes several times before and after class all week. In your
head, summarize what the assignment was about and test yourself on your notes.
9. Extend - Read and listen to other sources for more information about the topic. Learning more
information makes a topic more meaningful and interesting, especially if you share these ideas
with others.

LESSON 3
Listening takes up as much as 50% of our everyday communication time. It is the main channel
of classroom instruction and the most of the language skill at work and at home. It is not enough
that students just listen but they must use strategies that will make them active, not a passive,
listeners.

Seven Stages of Listening According to Nunan, (2001:23)

1. Hearing - It is the perception of sound, not necessarily paying attention, you must hear to
listen, but you need to listen to hear.
2. Attention - It refers to a selection that our brain focuses on.
3. Understanding - Which consists of analyzing the meaning of what we have heard and
understanding symbols we have seen and heard.
 4. Remembering - It is process where individual addition to receiving and interpreting the
message, has also added it to the mind’s storage bank, which means that the information will
be remembered in our mind.
5. Selecting - This is the part where we choose what to listen to which will be ignored. An
example of this is when a friend is talking to you at a birthday while there’s loud music and
other people chatting.
6. Evaluating - It is at this point when active listeners weigh evidence, sort of fact form opinion
and determine the presence or absence of bias of prejudice in a message.
7. Responding - This stage requires the receiver complete the process through verbal and non-
verbal feedback whereby the speaker also checks if the message has been received correctly.

D. Generalization
- Why do proper Communication important?
