LISTENING AS AN INTERACTIVE PROCESS

ABSTRACT

Noteworthily, it is claimed that listening is a two-way process, which means a listener is not passive but active as he works at combining the sounds heard into meaningful pieces of information. Therefore, this article attempts to explore how this knowledge of listening processes can be used to optimize listening comprehension in the classroom. This is especially important since effective real-life communication demands developing efficient receptive skills. This article is entirely based on document analysis method, a major component of qualitative research design. The results of the analysis revealed that integrated teaching of language skills focuses on mastery of meaning, fluency and communication through involving learners in different activities encouraging interaction.

INTRODUCTION

In the modern world, there are numerous fields where the knowledge of a foreign language is crucial. Therefore, nowadays more and more young people are trying to learn a foreign language since they consider it the key to success. As noted by our esteemed President Shavkat Miromonovich “raising physically healthy, mentally and intellectually developed, independent- minded young people, loyal to the motherland, increasing their social activity in the process of developing civil society and deepening democratic reforms is important in the development of the Republic of Uzbekistan”.
The given article puts forward achieving the following aims:

1. 
   Defining the nature of interactive listening
   
2. 
   Exploring benefits of extensive listening practice
   
3. 
   Examining principles of intensive listening practice
   
4. 
   Observing the role of a teacher in organizing effective classroom practice Prior to indulging ourselves into understanding “interactive listening”, it is
   

reasonable to get an insight of what constitutes interactive process. Firstly, according to Oxford dictionary “interactive is an adjective, which means influencing each other (of two people or things)”. This implies that any interactive process involves at least two

constituents that excerpt certain amount of influence on each other. The exchange of information orally, via mails or phone calls, the influence of a user actions on the development of the plot and settings in computer games, quizzes on a company’s website allowing a user to select their own path to receive information are some of the examples of daily interactive processes.
Now let’s look at some definitions of an interactive listening process:
Listening comprehension is not either top-down or bottom-up processing, but an interactive, interpretive process where listeners use both prior knowledge and linguistic knowledge in understanding messages.¹( Vandergrift, L)
….A significant proportion of real world listening performance is interactive. With the exception of media input, speeches, and eavesdropping, many of our listening efforts are directed towards a two-way process of speaking and listening in face-to-face conversations.²(Brown)
So, why do we need listening? Primarily, that is because exposure to the language via listening to native speech is a fundamental step towards foreign language mastery. “In L2 development, listening constitutes not only a skill area in performance, but also a primary means of acquiring a second language.”³
