Listening Strategy

• Listening for gist: you listen in order to understand the main idea of the text.
  
  
• Listening for specific information: you want to find out specific details, for example key words.
  
  
• Listening for detailed understanding: you want to understand all the information the text provides.

Listening Strategy: Before Listening

• Think about the topic of the text you are going to listen to. What do you already know about it? What could possibly be the content of the text? Which words come to mind that you already know? Which words would you want to look up?
  
  
• If you have to do a listening exercise, check whether you have understood the task correctly.
  
  
• Think about what type of text you are going to listen to. What do you know about this type of text?
  
  
• Relax and get ready to pay attention to the listening text.

Listening Strategy: While listening

• It is not necessary to understand every single word. Try to ignore words that you think are less important.
• If there are words or issues that you don't understand, use your general knowledge as well as the context to find out the meaning.
  
• Focus on key words and facts.
  
• Take notes to support your memory.
• The speakers' intonation and stress can help your understanding.
• Try to think ahead. What might happen next? What might the speakers say, which words might they use?
