Introduction Listening in a foreign language is a complex process. Students have to be able to understand the main idea of what is said as well as specific details. They may need to check any predictions they have made, and understand the speakers meaning, emotions and opinions. They may have to infer relationships between speakers, or identify the context in which the speakers are operating. Students may well have to use several of these skills in the course of a single listening activity.

Ten Steps to Effective ListeningFace the speaker and maintain eye contact. Be attentive. Keep an open mind to what you are hearing. Try to picture what the speaker is saying. Don't interrupt or impose your "solutions" on the speaker.Wait for the speaker to pause to ask clarifying questions. Ask clarifying questions, not challenging questions. Wait until discussion time to raise your point of view. Try to feel and understand what the speaker is feeling. Demonstrate you are paying attention to what is being said by providing feedback through nodding your head or saying "Uh huh." Pay attention to what isn't saidto feelings, facial expressions, gestures, posture and other nonverbal cues.
