                   • held in short term memory long enough
                     • related to what has gone before or what follows

                         • recognising lexical meaning
                           • perceiving grammatical relationships
                             • word order
                             • tense markers
                             • structure words
                             • cohesive devices
           • prediction and selection
             • prediction
               • helps the listener to listen without straining to catch every word
             • selection
               • process of sifting information and retrieving relevant information in a mass of data

3. involves the learner in listening to the message

4. Uniqueness of listening
