Strategy
for answered listening teofl :
1.Basic
Comprehension
When
students listen to a recorded lecture or a conversation,
they
should understand the central or main idea in it. Then
they
should skim the recording for key points, important facts,
purpose
and the relevant details that connects the key points.
2.Practical
Understanding
It
may also be called as “pragmatic understanding” where the
meaning
of a word should be taken, according to the context.
Students
are needed to find the intended meaning of the
speaker
i.e. from his point of view. A wide range of vocabulary
is
necessary for this process because, the recordings in
listening
test are usually from academic background. Practical
understanding
also becomes a must to find the purpose of a
lecture
or a conversation.
3.Relate
Ideas given in multiple information sources
Relating
ideas is the final state where the key points and the
important
facts are compared to find the relationship between
them.
This method would initially lead to construct an
argument.

elements
are categorized and as a result the causes for the
events
are traced. This is where a student would end up
identifying
the conclusion which is expressed indirectly.
4.Inference
Inference
is to find the implied conclusion in recordings from
the
author’s point of view. The conclusion might be implied or
expressed
indirectly anywhere in the passage.
These
are the basic requirements necessary, in each part of

strategy of listening section, which consists of two
recorded
lectures and one long conversation. These
fundamentals
are to be followed, in the following few
preparatory
