Part 1: Knowledge-based Questions
1. ‘Attending/Attention’ in the Listening Process:
• Focusing on the Speaker: Make a conscious effort to focus on the speaker,
maintaining eye contact and avoiding distractions.
• Processing the Information: Actively process and think about the information
being presented, linking it to prior knowledge.
• Non-verbal Cues: Use non-verbal cues such as nodding or facial expressions
to show you are engaged and understanding.
2. Purposes for Listening
• To Understand Information: Listening to grasp and comprehend the
information being presented.
• To Enjoy: Listening for pleasure, such as music or a story.
• To Evaluate: Listening to critically assess the content of the message.
3. Distinguishing Discriminative Listening from Comprehensive
Listening
• Discriminative listening involves identifying and distinguishing between
different sounds and tones. It's the most basic form of listening where you
focus on changes in tone and pitch to understand meaning.
• Comprehensive listening, on the other hand, is about understanding the
message in its entirety. It involves grasping the context, the emotions, and the
full meaning behind the words.
• Discriminative listening helps in identifying speaker emotions through vocal
cues, whereas comprehensive listening involves understanding the full
content and context of what is being said.
• While discriminative listening is more about sensory input, comprehensive
listening requires intellectual and cognitive engagement to process and
understand the full message.
4. Parts of the Human Body Used to Produce Language
• Lungs: Provide the airflow needed for speech production.
• Larynx (Voice Box): Produces sound through the vibration of the vocal cords.
• Tongue: Shapes sounds into different phonetic patterns.
• Teeth: Assist in forming certain sounds, particularly fricatives.
• Lips: Help to produce labial sounds and modify the flow of air.
