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. Then a string of supportive and non supportive

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.

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.
