00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.400 
>> Well, it is very important,

00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:04.750 
because as part of
communication.

00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:07.000 
If you don't understand
what people are saying,

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:09.440 
then you're not able
to communicate.

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:13.430 
>> So, it is important it's
an important ingredient

00:00:13.430 --> 00:00:15.470 
of communication, right?

00:00:15.470 --> 00:00:19.060 
So communication.

00:00:19.060 --> 00:00:19.760 
Very nice.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.030 
Ok.

00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:25.330 
>> Well, you need it
to function in society.

00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:30.280 
Like you really need how to, for
example, if you want to listen

00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:38.740 
to news, listen to a song you
have different media there

00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:41.020 
important for you life,
and you need to listen to,

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:42.640 
you need listening skills.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.040 
>> So basically,
especially for the media.

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:50.660 
I mean, again communication to
the media component is Ok, Ok.

00:00:50.660 --> 00:00:51.410 
>> I think

00:00:51.410 --> 00:00:53.620 
in the language-learning
environment especially it's

00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:57.180 
important because certain
students feel more comfortable

00:00:57.180 --> 00:00:59.580 
because it's more
passive learning.

00:00:59.580 --> 00:01:04.210 
They can listen and not
feel the pressure to produce

00:01:04.210 --> 00:01:08.070 
in the early stages especially
so they're taking in a lot more

00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:09.010 
and then they have time

00:01:09.010 --> 00:01:12.710 
to process it before they
actually speak and write.

00:01:12.710 --> 00:01:17.720 
>> Ok, so it allows input

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:22.630 
at sometimes controlled
speed maybe at student speed.

00:01:22.630 --> 00:01:25.740 
>> More cognitive
processing time, kind of.

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:33.250 
>> Ok. At more time
for processing Ok.

00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:34.040 
Very good.

00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.700 
Ok, what else?

00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.840 
>> In many cases, it's
the way you learn.

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.270 
You can learn without listening.

00:01:39.270 --> 00:01:42.140 
Well, you can learn
from the grammar book,

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.510 
but that's not always the case.

00:01:43.510 --> 00:01:44.620 
>> That's not the same thing.

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:47.130 
>> Yeah, especially if
you go to the country

00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:49.860 
of the language you are
studying, it's very useful.

00:01:49.860 --> 00:01:50.800 
>> Very good.

00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:51.720 
Ok, what else?

00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:52.640 
What can we add to this?

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:52.760 
Yes.

00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.560 
>> You can learn sociocultural
scripts, so it's kind of,

00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.340 
like you can hear things
and then once you get that,

00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:04.620 
you can later extract
variations, grammar out of that.

00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:06.280 
>> Of what you hear basically.

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.200 
>> Right. So if you hear
the same thing every day

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:10.890 
from your instructor and
you're able to eventually know

00:02:10.890 --> 00:02:12.930 
that this is kind of the order

00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:16.480 
and then you can go oh wait
there's a grammar point in there

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:19.970 
that now I know and I can
modify this and other sentences

00:02:19.970 --> 00:02:21.980 
and now I can start
applying this.

00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:24.630 
But you get that from hearing
these scripts every day.

00:02:24.630 --> 00:02:25.770 
>> Very good.

00:02:25.770 --> 00:02:28.420 
>> Well as an English
language learner, one of the ways

00:02:28.420 --> 00:02:33.880 
that really works well for me
is watching American movies.

00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:37.170 
It involves a lot of
listening activities

00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:41.560 
in that it gets me a
lot of language input.

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:46.180 
So to help me to improve
my vocabulary and also

00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:47.630 
like pronunciation,

00:02:47.630 --> 00:02:53.190 
I like imitating what people are
talking about in the movies, so.

00:02:53.190 --> 00:02:54.590 
>> What kind of listening,

00:02:54.590 --> 00:02:58.510 
how would you does describe
this kind of listening?

00:02:58.510 --> 00:03:00.860 
How would we describe
the kind of listening?

00:03:00.860 --> 00:03:01.170 
>> Extensive.

00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:01.530 
>> Extensive.

00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:04.290 
What does this remind us of?

00:03:04.290 --> 00:03:07.300 
Extensive listening.

00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.040 
>> Extensive reading.

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:10.690 
>> Extensive reading.

00:03:10.690 --> 00:03:13.910 
See with listening and
reading there so much overlap,

00:03:13.910 --> 00:03:16.390 
and it's really buy
one get one free.

00:03:16.390 --> 00:03:21.130 
It is the buy one get one free
effect, whatever strategies,

00:03:21.130 --> 00:03:22.850 
whatever and we will
talk about this,

00:03:22.850 --> 00:03:25.020 
the similarities
between reading.

00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:27.600 
So absolutely, I
mean watching movies.

00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:29.810 
I mean, it builds the stamina.

00:03:29.810 --> 00:03:34.140 
Your ability to understand
bigger chunks of language.

00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:34.880 
Absolutely.

00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:36.650 
So remember extensive reading,

00:03:36.650 --> 00:03:39.630 
extensive listening is very
similar to extensive reading.

00:03:39.630 --> 00:03:43.440 
And it will allow you to
process more chunks of language

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:46.900 
to build vocabulary to be
able to guess from context.

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:50.330
Work on the strategies
listening strategies.
