Who is a Listener?

                                                  Who is a Listener?
         I have a simple answer for this question. You are that listener. You are a listener because listening is a compulsory day to day activity. Although, most of the time you will be reading; there will be occasions when you have to listen to a tape recorder, radio, television or video e.t.c. You are likely going to attend lectures and meetings. You need the skill of listening accurately and to comprehend what is conveyed to you as information. That is why you need to go through this unit, carefully.
        As a listener, I cannot determine where you are now, studying this unit; it maybe in your home, your work place, an isolated place or even inside a vehicle taking you to a destination. Wherever you may be, there is something important about listening. We listen daily, moment by moment.

Why Must We Listen?

You as a listener must listen because listening is a day to day activity. You listen to your friends talking, may be in your language or English. You listen to directions when you are lost or new to a place. You listen to lectures, which are delivered by specialists in a field. You listen at home, at work, in the office, to a telephone conversation and so on.

Listening activities can therefore be divided into two major parts, namely- listening in general, social setting and listening for specific purposes.

The kind of listening we are interested in here is listening for specific purposes. That is, listening to gather information, for directions, listening to academic lectures, to process involved in doing something, or listening to critically evaluate what a speaker is saying. Your concern in this study is also listening in English. Indeed, English is the medium of instruction.
