Simple strategies for Listening
Practice Remembering.
One way to improve your ability to predict is to listen to a recorded video, news program, radio interview, or podcast.
Use the pause button to stop the recording at the end of a sentence.
Repeat the sentence.
Gradually increase the length of what you repeat. You do not have to repeat the words exactly; the goal is to increase the amount you remember.
Practice Predicting.
One way to improve your ability to predict is to listen to a recorded video, news program, radio interview, or podcast.
As you listen, pause every minute or so and predict what will happen next and what you will hear next.
Write down any words that you expect to hear, and then check to see how many of them you hear.
Keep practicing until your accuracy improves.
Practice listening for specific information.
One way of practicing listening for information is to:
Pick a video, news program, radio interview, or podcast, and listen for specific information.
Listen for What, Where, Who, Why, When, and How.
Listen again for any words that you didn’t catch the first time.
