Q. Two types of visual signals...

Exophoric signals, such as a speaker holding up a photograph or writing some words on the board typically serve as references for the spoken text and are critical for text interpretation. Exophoric signals are particularly crucial in situations of high information flow, such as scientific documentaries and academic lectures.

Kinesic signals are the body movements, including eye and head movements, the speaker makes while delivering the text. There are numerous systems for describing a speaker’s body movements and their role in communication. From these sources, the most commonly occurring sets of kinesic signals are baton signals, directional gaze and guide signs.

Q. Lexical developments in L2 learners. 3

The L2 learner engages in gradual acquisition of the lexis of the new language. These processes involve mapping concepts on to words, generalizing and eventually discriminating between lexical items. Listening and reading are the only avenues for lexical acquisition; therefore, the more an L2 learner listens to and read input that is comprehensible, yet contains some new and challenging items, the more lexical acquisition will take place.

Q. two listener responses

Type of listener response is backchannelling, which is when the listener sends short messages back during the partner’s speaking turn or immediately following the speaking turn. Backchannelling, which always differs in form from culture to culture and within subcultures, is important in conversation for showing a number of listener states: reception of messages, readiness for subsequent messages, turn-taking permissions, projections (see Tanaka, 2001, for examples of projections in Japanese), and empathy for the speaker’s emotional states and shifts in emotion during the conversation. Backchannelling occurs more or less constantly during conversations in all languages and settings, though in some languages and in some settings, it seems more prevalent.

Another type of listener response in discourse is the follow-up act. Follow-up acts are responses to a discourse exchange, and can be provided either by the listener or the speaker from the previous exchange. Follow-up acts can be endorsements (positive evaluations), concessions (negative evaluations), or acknowledgements (neutral evaluations).

Q. three Neuro linguistic elements of attention

In neurolinguistic research, attention is seen as a timed process requiring three neurological elements: arousal, orientation and focus. Arousal begins with the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in the brain stem becoming activated. When this happens, the RAS releases a flood of neurotransmitters to fire neurons throughout the brain. Orientation is a neural organization process performed near the brain stem. This process engages the brain pathways that are most likely to be involved in understanding and responding to the perceived object. Focus is achieved in the higher cortex of the brain, the lateral pulvinar section. This process selectively locks on to the pathways that lead to the frontal lobe of the brain and are involved in processing incoming stimulus, thus allowing for more efficient use of energy

Q. what is difference between listening and hearing

Hearing is the act of perceiving sound and receiving sound waves or vibrations through your ear. Listening is the act of hearing a sound and understanding what you hear. Hearing is one of the five senses and it just happens all the time – whether you like it or not – unless you have a hearing problem. But if you listen, you are consciously choosing what you want to hear. You concentrate on what you hear in order to understand the message.

Q. enlist two way of collaborative

two-way collaborative tasks are widely used to promote interactive listening skills. Use of structured communicative tasks involving two-way communication promotes listener control of conversations, including regulating turn-taking and seeking feedback through clarification, and confirmation checks. the key characteristics of an effective two-way collaborative task are

(1) a primary focus on meaning (rather than on language form)

(2) the learner selecting from a menu of linguistic resources needed for task completion, and

(3) a tangible outcome (which can be evaluated for its correctness or appropriateness).

These features are seen as necessary in promoting learner uptake during the task, rather than mere completion of the task.

Q. two enrich speakers meaning

•  Inferring speaker emotion: a key part of pragmatic competence is not only inferring speaker intention, but also inferring speaker emotion. Even more than with intentions, emotions are very seldom explicit, and are often not even acknowledged by the speaker.
•  Elaborating speaker meaning: Refers to making semantic inferences based on the concepts used by the speaker and also making pragmatic inferences based on context- dependent conditions of the current discourse

Q. five types of information noted in paralinguistic signals

•  Emotional. The intonation is used to express speaker’s attitudinal meaning, such as enthusiasm, doubt, or distaste for the topic (Ohala, 1996).
•  Grammatical. Intonation can be used to mark the grammatical structure of an utterance, like punctuation does in written language (Brazil, 1995).
•  Informational. Intonational peaks indicate the salient parts of an utterance that a speaker wishes to draw attention to for both self and listener (Chafe, 1994).
