• Top- Down strategies are listener based.• Refers to the use of background knowledge in understanding the

meaning of the message.• Background knowledge of the topic, the situation or context, type

of text and co-text (what came before and after).• Background knowledge activates a set of expectations that help

the listener to interpret what is heard and anticipate what will come next.

The Story : THE LION AND THE MOUSEOnce when a Lion was asleep, a little Mouse began running up and

down upon him. This soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him and opened his big jaws to swallow him.

"Pardon, O King!" cried the little Mouse, "Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, but I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days?“The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go.

Sometime later a few hunters captured the King and tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on.

Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, ran up to him and soon cut the net into pieces and freed the lion. "Was I not right?" said the little Mouse, very happy to help the Lion.
