THE USE OF STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE LISTENING SKILLS

Аннотация

This article gives data about how to improve listening skills quickly and effectively through using strategies and techniques. Added to this, it indicates some stages of listeningprocess. Keywords:Cognitive strategy, metacognitive strategy, affective strategy, social strategy, interpersonal communication. I.INTRODUCTION Listening is one of the most important language-learning exercises.The capacity to effectively receive information when talking with people is mostly dependent on your ability to listen. It forms thecornerstone oftheprocess bywhich a youngster picks uplanguage from his mother. So in every aspect of life, including dealing with coworkers, family relationships, and helping a loved one through illness, listening is a crucial skill, that is to say one of the ways that people communicate on a regular basis is by listening. However, most people have poor listening skills. But nowadays there are so many ways to develop listening skills. As the technology so fast, most of people have mobile phone and so they can listen podcasts or musics in everywhere and anytime. Apart from this pupils may improve their listening skill through way of dictation. Because like other language abilities listening requires a lot of practice. According to Sevik “Listening is the initial stage in first and second language acquisition”[1]. II.METHODS There are some listening strategies and they can be classified into four main types: cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. - Cognitive listening strategies refer to all mental abilities and processes related to knowledge like using language and sociocultural expertise to tackle the issues. Inference, prediction, interpretation, storing, and recall of data, summarizing, translating, repeating, embellishing, sourcing, grouping, taking notes, substituting, and creating pictures are a few instances of cognitive performance. Cognitive strategies are important for listening comprehension because they help learners monitor and control their mental processing, identify comprehension breakdowns, and connect world knowledge tolisteningcontent. page416 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue05,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai - Metacognitive strategies, which are considered the most reliable predictors of listening skills development in metacognition, denote the ability to reflect on and control one’s own learning. Recent research into metacognition has provided evi- dence that effective listening performance can happen through classroom instruc- tion to assist learners’ mental process in coping with listening materials [2]. Researchers also discover that successful learning comes from the ability to combine different strategies to meet various tasks and situations [3] and that more skilled learners tend to apply these types ofskills intensively, especially monitoring comprehension through evaluating information and questioningfor clarification [4]. Since social and affective techniques are closely related, they are frequently discussed simultaneously. This is due to the fact that social relationships and personal emotions are interconnected aspects of the L2 learning process. Compared to research on cognitive and metacognitive techniques, there are fewer empirical investigations on these kinds. According to research on socioaffective ability, students are frequently discouraged from asking questions during the listening process when there is alack of social empathy inthe classroom. [5]. Examples of social strategies are requesting clarifications and interrupting someone to check comprehension. Affective methods include things like controlling worry, being composed, and adjusting to not knowing everything. These strategies help learners stay and well-focused and connected with others in the learning process. The use of social strategies, however, is not always easy to oberve and documented. It is because researchers can only witness the behaviour of extroverted learners while the benefit of such strategies quiet learners is often hard toreport [6]. III.RESULTS Actually, most of people, mainly students and pupils suffers from improving their listening skills So as solution of this problem, they can use from various effective methods and strategies.Firstly, people need to have good general listening skills to improve their listening skills. As mentioned in the method above, Strategies are based on the development of a certain ability of students, for example "Cognitive strategy" helps to realize, that is to say, many processes related to the mental activity of students: understanding, guessing, translating and other abilities.In addition, "Metacognitive strategy" contributes to students' ability to reflect their knowledge.Because these strategies are considered successful in practice, this is the method It tested students' ability to combine mult
