BIDIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE UNI DIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE AUTODIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE
BIDIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE The obvious mode is two-way or bidirectional communicative listening. Here the reciprocal speech chain of speaker/listener is easily observed (Denes and Pinson 1963). Two (or more) participants take turns exchanging speaker role and listener role as they engage in face-to-face or telephone verbal interaction.
BIDIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE
UNIDIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE A second mode is one-way or unidirectional communicative listening. Auditory input surrounds us as we move through the day. The input comes from a variety of sources: overheard conversations Public address announcements
UNIDIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE Recorded messages T he media Instruction situations of all kinds P ublic performances t elephone answering machine t elevision, radio, film l ectures, religious services, play, opera, musicals and concerts.
AUTODIRECTIONAL LISTENING MODE We can think of this as self-dialogue communication in which we may not be aware of our internal roles as both speaker and listener/reactor in our own thought processes.
IMPLICATIONS TO INSTRUCTION Learners need to have instruction and practice in both the bidirectional communicative listening mode and in the unidirectional mode. In addition, self-dialogue in the auto-directional communicative listening mode should not be ignored. Auto directional “talk” is something which learners should be led to develop as a skill in its own right, as well as a tool to be used in connection with bidirectional and unidirectional listening.
