NATURE OF LISTENING

LISTENING - A complex skill that requires attention and energy

Involves;Recognition Selection Short Memory Inference

LISTENINGA creative skill.We hear sounds, words, the rise and fall of voice, from all which we create significance.

We listen not for the words alone but for the meanings.

Rivers; significance depends on three factors:

Linguistic information which the listeners perceive aurally of sounds, words, and their arrangements in utterances

Situational context of the utterance

Intentions of the speaker

Quick Concern:

Many of our students can hear but do not

comprehend because it is only the linguistic

content of the utterance that is given attention.
