LEARNING TO LISTEN IN ENGLISH

Have you ever had a difficult time understanding normal spoken English on

TV, at work, or in school? If you have, you are not alone. Many beginning

students of English have a difficult time learning to listen in English. Listening can

actually be one of the more difficult language skills to master, but there are a

number of strategies that can help you comprehend spoken English better. These

strategies could be broken down into pre-, while– and post-listening strategies.

The process of preparing yourself to listen to a tv program or classroom

lecture is sometimes just as important as the actual practice of listening. If you

know that a lecture or TV program is going to be on a particular subject, you can

practice the strategy of predicting. Predicting is when you try to guess what you will

hear before you actually hear it. If you think about a subject before you listen and

predict what is going to be said, you will understand more if the lecture or TV

program as you listen. Try asking yourself these questions before listening: What is

the topic? What do I already know about the topic? What do I need to know

before I listen? What can I predict will be said.

An excellent while-listening strategy is the practice of making guesses about

what your hear. Oftentimes, people do not need to understand or hear

every word of a lecture, conversation, or TV show to understand the main idea of

what is being said. Some ways of making good guesses in listening is to first pay

attention to the speakers’ gestures and facial expressions. These things can often

communicate more than the words people say. To practice this strategy, try

listening to a video without a sound. Pay careful attention to the speakers’

gestures and facial expression. As you watch, try guessing what the speakers are

saying. When you are finished watching, rewind the tape to see if your guesses are

correct. You will probably be surprised at how much you were able to

understand just by guessing!An important post-listening strategy that will help you become a better

listener is evaluating. You need to check to see if what you understood from the

TV program, lecture, or conversation is correct. To do this, you can ask a

classmate or a co-worker to summarize what you just heard. By doing this, you

will be able to determine whether or not you are making progress in your listening

skills or if you need to adjust your goals and expectations.

Learning to comprehend normal spoken English can sometimes be a

difficult and frustrating experience for many beginning English language learners.

However, the strategies of predicting, guessing, and evaluating can help lessen

some of the frustration. Try these strategies today and see if you notice an

improvement in your listening skills.
