ntroduction

The mpact Listening

series is an innovative set

of

learning materials that helps students

develop listening skills for social, academic and business purposes.

The

series has three levels:

Impact Listening (for beginning level students)

Impact Listening 2 (for high-beginning and low-intermediate students)

Impact

Listening 3 (for intermediate and high-intermediate students)

mpact Listening

makes listening an active and enjoyable experience for students. While

featuring an abundance of natural listening input and a variety of creative activities, mpact

Listening

leads students to become successful listeners

through

an effective

4-step

process:

tep

:

Build

word-based listening skills

To be successful listeners, we

have to hear words and phrases

accurately. With the

Warm

Up,

each unit begins by helping stu

dents understand high-frequency

words and phrases.

As

students

become confident

in

their ability

to catch common words and

phrases, they increase their

capacity for listening to longer

stretches

of language.

tep

2:

Develop focusing strategies

t is important to have a purpose

when we listen. Setting a purpose

allows the students to become

active listeners.

In Listening

Task, students are given a variety

of tasks to focus their attention.

A short follow-up speaking

activity allows students to express

their own ideas. They develop

active listening strategies:

Prepare, Guess, and Focus.

Listening

Everyone experiences difficulties

While

on

building effective word-based

(bottom-up) listening skills, it is

also important that students

practice idea-based (top-down)

listening strategies. In Real World

Based on natural, extended

students develop active

listening strategies: predicting

inferring, clarifying, making

judgments and responding to

the ideas in the extract.

Step 4:

learned

Interaction

Link

Connecting to the topic

is

a vital

part

of

becoming a better listener.

Throughout each unit, students are

given the opportunity to develop

curiosity, activate their knowledge,

and express their ideas and opinions.

To

the Student

Impact Listening will help you use listening strategies. Listening strategies are ways of thinking

actively as you listen. Here are the main strategies you will practice in this course:

[

repare

Preparing helps you listen better.

Before you listen, look at the

illustrations and photographs.

Think

about

the ideas.

Look

over the vocabulary words.

Try

to predict what the speakers

will say

Guess

Guessing can make you a more

successful listener.

Make your best guess at the parts

you don t understand.

[

Focus

Focus

=

Listen with a purpose.

Before you listen, look at the

listening task

or

questions.

While

you listen, focus on the task

and questions. Listen for key words.

f here

are some words

you don t

understand, that's OK. Keep listening.

[

J

sk

Good listeners ask a lot of

questions .

While you listen, think of

questions:

What

do you

want

to know?

Respond

Responding is

part

of listening

While you listen, pay attention

to the speaker's ideas and intentions

After you listen, respond to the

ideas: What do you think?

Review

Reviewing builds

your

"listening

memory."

After you listen,

think about the

meaning of what the speakers

have said.

Try

to say the meaning in

your

own words.
