= the amount of information in a text
|
|

strength: better comprehension, easier to follow, better pace, clearpronunciation, |

Authentic listenings
|
- background noise and voices
- overlaps n interruptions btw speakers - loosely packed info + fillers - relatively unstructured language - normal rate of speech delivery - incomplete sentences |
|

Pedagogic Listenings
|
- no background noise
- little overlap btw speakers - densely packed info- structured language, like written E - slower delivery - complete sentences |
|
|

|
1. Input Hyothesis
2. correct grammar 3. body language 4. pronunciation/ intonation 5. breaks for info process 6. topic knowledge 7. authentic speech 8. relaxed environment |
