Listening Task Study
Listening and note taking
Listen carefully each time.
Make notes of what you hear. Better to have too many notes than not enough. •
Be sure to take down quotes or language used in the text. •
Have a shorthand system that is meaningful to you.
Use arrows to show linked ideas.
Use the amount of marks appointed to the question as a guide to how much information is required. 1 mark = 1 piece of information. •
If in doubt about what to include in the answer, put it all in. •
Use the language of the text as often as you can. Do not simplify the meaning or understanding of the text in your response. •
Do not use your general knowledge. You must interpret the meaning from the text, not from how you understand the world should work. •
Always interpret the meaning intended within context of the text. •
Every answer should reference the text, preferably with direct quote or by using the language of the text. •
Make sure you hear the word correctly and write it as you hear it. Language features to look out for in listening tasks
