The Theory of Teaching Listening
![Page 4: Gebhard (2000: 143) - listening is not a passive skill but an active one because we need to be receptive to others, which include paying attention](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649dbd5503460f94aaf4c5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Gebhard (2000: 143) - listening is not a passive skill but an active one because we need to be receptive to others, which include paying attention to explanations, questions, and opinions.
• Gebhard (2000:144) states that listening comprehension activity involves two distinct processes, bottom-up and top-down processing.
• Similarly, Brown (2001:249) also defines that listening is an interactive process involving a number of different cognitive, psychomotor, and affective mechanisms.

Two purposes of listening (Gebhard)
• There are two purposes of listening: - Interactional function which is
focusing on creating harmonious interaction among individuals, and transactional function which is focusing on transferring information and it is important for the listener to comprehend the content of the speaker’s message.

• Gebhard (2000: 147) states that we can provide the students with a variety of listening activities. The following are some of the listening activities for EFL students as suggested by Gebhard:
(a) identifying linguistic feature(b) a stress and rhythm listening
activity(c) a minimal pair listening activity(d) responding to request and
commands(e) interacting as a listener(f) eavesdropping and(g) comprehending extended speech.

Listening in language learning and teaching
• Listeners use metacognitive, cognitive and socio-affective strategies to facilitate comprehension and to make their learning more effective. Metacognitive strategies are important because they oversee, regulate or direct the language learning process. Cognitive strategies manipulate the material to be learned or apply a specific technique to a listening task. Socio-affective strategies describe the techniques listeners use to collaborate with others, to verify understanding or to lower anxiety. Research shows that skilled listeners use more metacognitive strategies than their less-skilled counterparts (O'Malley & Chamot, 1990, Vandergrift, 1997a).
![Page 8: Gebhard (2000: 143) - listening is not a passive skill but an active one because we need to be receptive to others, which include paying attention](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042821/56649dbd5503460f94aaf4c5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When listeners know how to
• analyse the requirements of a listening task;• activate the appropriate listening processes
required;• make appropriate predictions;• monitor their comprehension;• andevaluate the success of their approach,
>they are using metacognitive knowledge for successful listening comprehension. This is critical to the development of self-regulated learning (Wenden, 1998).

HEARING • it refers to the response caused by
sound waves stimulating the sensory receptors of the ear; it is physical response; hearing is perception of sound waves; you must hear to listen, but you need not listen to hear (perception necessary for listening depends on attention

ATTENTION• brain screens stimuli and permits only select few to
come into focus- these selective perception is known as attention, an important requirement for effective listening ; strong stimuli like bright lights, sudden noise…are attention getters; attention to more commonplace or less striking stimuli requires special effort;
• the action of dealing with or taking special care of someone or something.

UNDERSTANDING• to understand symbols we have seen and heard, we must analyze the meaning of the stimuli we have perceived; symbolic stimuli are not only words but also sounds like applause… and sights like blue uniform…that have symbolic meanings as well;
• the power of comprehending; especially : the capacity to apprehend general relations of particulars

REMEMBERING• it is important listening process because it
means that an individual has not only received and interpreted a message but has also added it to the mind's storage bank; but just as our attention is selective, so too is our memory- what is remembered may be quite different from what was originally seen or heard

EVALUATING
- it is a stage in which active listeners participate; at these point the active listener weighs evidence, sorts fact from opinion, and determines the presence or absence of bias or prejudice in a message; the effective listener makes sure that he or she doesn’t begin this activity too soon ;

RESPONDINGthis stage requires that the receiver complete the process through verbal and/or nonverbal
feedback; because the speaker has no other way to determine if a message has been received , this stage becomes the only overt means by
which the sender may determine the degree of success in transmitting the message.
