Why is Listening Important?
Before we start discussing listening, let's take a few minutes to reflect on the importance of the listening skill. As a language teacher and as a learner of other languages, think of one or two reasons why listening is important.Listening is also important because it:
- occupies a big chunk of the time we spend communicating in the language. Think about the times you spend listening to others speak or listening to songs, news, lectures, YouTube, etc. Recent advances in technology have served to raise the profile of the listening skill in language teaching.
- provides input that can be very significant for second language acquisition in general and for the development of the speaking skill in particular.
- promotes non-linear processing of language and encourages learners to develop "holistic" strategies to texts.

Listening is a skill
of critical significance in all aspects of our lives--from maintaining
our personal relationships, to getting our jobs done, to taking notes in
class, to figuring out which bus to take to the airport.
Regardless of how we're engaged with listening, it's important to
understand that listening involves more than just hearing the words that
are directed at us. Listening is an active process by which we make
sense of, assess, and respond to what we hear.
The listening process involves five stages: receiving, understanding, evaluating, remembering, and responding. These stages will be discussed in more detail in later sections. Basically, an effective listener must hear and identify the speech sounds directed toward them, understand the message of those sounds, critically evaluate or assess that message, remember what's been said, and respond (either verbally or nonverbally) to information they've received.
Effectively engaging with all five stages of the listening process lets us best gather the information we need from the world around us.
