    The Teaching of Listening

    Listening is the neglected communication skill. While all of us have had


    instruction in reading, writing, and speaking, few have had any formal instruction in
    listening.

    Hearing is natural process while listening is skill. – Cabbab


    4 Kinds of Listening (Wolvin and Coakley, 1992)
    1. Comprehensive (Informational) Listening - students listen for the content of
    the message
    2. Critical (Evaluative) Listening- Students judge the message
    3. Appreciative (Aesthetic) Listening- Students listen for enjoyment
    4. Therapeutic (Emphatic) Listening – Students listen to support others
    Barriers to Listening
    1. Physical Barriers – to comprehend the message, the students should hear it.
    But reception may be blocked by noise in the room or outside the room; poor
    acoustics; impaired hearing of the students; tiredness, sleepiness and hunger;
    or plain inattention.
    2. Psychological barrier – these are preconceived beliefs about the subject being
    discussed that prevent the hearers from receiving the speaker’s/teacher’s
    ideas; the negative attitude towards the subject which to the hearer is difficult,
    uninteresting or unpleasant; or antagonism towards the speaker.
    3. Language barrier – is the level of language too high for the students? The
    teacher’s/speaker’s pronunciation and grammar could also be a distraction to
    the hearer.
    How to become an active listener
    1. Stop talking
    2. Control the surroundings.
    3. Establish a receptive mind set.
    4. Listen for main points.
    5. Make effective use of lag time.
    6. Listen between the lines.
    7. Judge ideas, not appearances.
    Bottom-up Listening
    This refers to a process by which sounds are used to build up units of information,
    such as words, phrases, clauses and sentences before the aural input is
    understood.
    Top-down processing
    This refers to the application of background knowledge to facilitate
    comprehension. It is generally believed now that both top-down and bottom-up
    processing occur at the same time in what is known as parallel processing
    (Eysenck, 1993).
