38、nderstanding Lectures : Evaluating Information (Understanding Details, Methods, and Attitudes) Guided by a general idea of what the lecture will be about, learners move on to evaluate and judge what the speaker says, distinguishing important ideas from less important ones, main ideas from subordinat

39、e ones, e.g. an idea from an illustration or example. In this multi-tasking process, learners must have in mind the specific point the lecturer is explaining and the way he explains it by looking for clues in his words. For example, 1.

44、ourse, um, tar pits are not the only place” and then pursuing what is “another good place”. To elaborate on fossils in caves, the lecturer uses classification (one type is )and exemplification (a good example of a carnivore den was ). To put it in another way, while listening, learners are trying to

45、 understand the lecturers way of delivery, for example, how he begins the lecture (the speaker may start with a question, a gesture, an interesting or unusual story or fact, a prop, or personal experience), how he presents ideas (e.g. exemplification, classification, comparison and contrast), and ho
