Last few days ago i had received ACCA's magazine for trainees from England. Inside i've read something which i could share it here especially for the students out there!
3 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LISTENING IN LECTURES
Learn to Listen
Attending lectures may sometimes seem like a chore - but learning when listening is a skill you can develop, and even enjoy. You will probably need to adapt your listening technique to an individual lecterur's style, but certain skills will remain consistent. Be warned: maintaning concentration, the fact that there is no direct interaction with the speaker, and even the struggle to stay awake, can all conspire to thwart your efforts. But practice itself will help improve.
Be Prepared
Be on time - the first few minutes of the lecture, when the speaker outlines what to expect, will help you work out a rough structure in your mind. If you tend to find yourself daydreaming in lectures after 20 or 30 minutes, be ready - start writing down queries that occur to you (to sharpen your focus), so that you can research them later, or even ask the lecturer (if question are invited). Sit up straight (slouching encourages drowsiness), and get as near to the front as possible.
Take Note
Taking good notes enhances the learning process, so listen for clues from your lecterur that will help you structure these - such as lists, numbers, alternatives, and references to external sources, as well as changes in the speed intonation of the lecterur's speech. If a Powerpoint presentation is used, ask for the file to be e-mailed to you for reference. And always write up your notes as soon as possible after the lecture so that any ambiguities can be cleared up while your memory is still fresh.
So had you all know about it now? Hope so~~~
