• Taking notes in class is the initial step to survive in an academic setting because it helps keep you focused in class.
• Note-taking can extendyour attention span!
If you just listen and not take notes in class, you can be easily distracted by thoughts that pop into your head!
• Notes will help you remember better what you have heard or read.

Just taking notes is never enough!• To make sense of what you noted down, you need to..
go over your notes
clarify some of the points that look unclear
organize your notes (e.g. Outlining, mind-mapping)
write a summary of the key ideas discussed

Listening & Note-Taking in English
• What do you think makes note-taking in English difficult?
• What strategies might work to overcome those challenges?
![Page 8: Introduction to the Listening Course - YILDIZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020621/61e68035b447f6601b4a1c65/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• If you believe you are not a good note-taker, then there are things that go wrong for you..
• Then, let’s go over what these weak points are.
![Page 9: Introduction to the Listening Course - YILDIZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020621/61e68035b447f6601b4a1c65/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Weak Point 1: Trying to note down everything that you hear!!
No surprise this is tiring and discouraging! And almost impossible!
There is no such formula:
* Note down just words(nouns/adjectives/verbs/adverbs)
Not alma hızı frekansı= Okuma hızı frekansı x t ²
![Page 10: Introduction to the Listening Course - YILDIZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020621/61e68035b447f6601b4a1c65/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Instead, be selective and note down only KEY INFO.
HOW can one identify key information then?
notice the signal words highlighting that important information is coming...
![Page 11: Introduction to the Listening Course - YILDIZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020621/61e68035b447f6601b4a1c65/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Some signal words highlighting key info:
The most severe effect of … … have an impact on….
I should underline that…I ought to emphasize that..I must point out It’s essential/useful that…
![Page 12: Introduction to the Listening Course - YILDIZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020621/61e68035b447f6601b4a1c65/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
You don’t need to note down the following: 1. Introductory remarks:Today, I’d like to talk about something. I’m sureyou’ve all heard about genetically modified or GMfoods*.Now that we’ve looked at some of thebenefits of genetically modified plants, let’s talkabout the risks of growing this type of food.Wedon’t know what the harmful effects are, but thereare several things people are worried about.* We don’t need to note down anything here, exceptthe words ‘GM foods’& ‘risks’. From this statement,we expect the next information to be about thespecific risks of GM Foods. Don’t miss them!

2. The signal words themselves:• In this lecture, first I’ll explain…. and then I’ll….• It is important to remember that
• However, after these statements, we needto note down the coming information!

Adjectives & Nouns signalling key info:
crucial/essential/ significant..key/main/major (point)Obvious/ clear/ Discussible/ questionable
Difficulty/ problemFactor/issue/elementAdvantage/benefit/Disadvantage/ drawbackconsequence…

Notice also some connectors:
since/as/fordue to/ thanks toalthough/ in spite ofin contrast/ whereashowever/ butin addition to/ moreover/apart fromsimilarly/ as to comparefor instance/ take the case ofsuch as/ like
![Page 16: Introduction to the Listening Course - YILDIZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020621/61e68035b447f6601b4a1c65/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Weak Strategy 2:Writing in full words!• Legible speedy handwriting is essential in note-taking. • If you want to increase your speed, do the following:
- shorten the words (into meaningful units) eg. / ex. (instead of ‘example’ )imp. = improve / importantSS = students , no = number, Eng. = English
- use initials for any topic/term repeated throughout a lecture.
e.g GMFCS = Culture Shock
![Page 17: Introduction to the Listening Course - YILDIZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020621/61e68035b447f6601b4a1c65/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
- use symbols* love
* instead of ‘lead to/ result in/ as a result’ e.g. Global Warming natural disasters
* + Moreover/and
* ≠ different/not equal
* decline/lessen/decrease
* increase/boom
* / or

What else to note down?
• Dates • Numbers• Names of people/places/organizations
