Listening skills

Identifying the meaning of a new word or term  When a new word or term is used in speech, the speaker often provides its meaning through a few commonly used methods. Familiarizing yourself with these methods can make it easier for you to identify the meaning of a new word or term while listening.  Firstly, the speaker may explain the meaning of a new word or term in the words that immediately follow it. For example, One of the advantages of gold is its malleability, which enables jewelers to work the metal into almost any shape or design. In this sentence, the words that immediately follow malleability serve to explain the meaning of the word.  

Secondly, the speaker may use signal words or expressions to introduce the meaning of a new word or term. These signal words or expressions can be mean, be defined as, be about, involve, emphasize, stand for, correspond to, etc. For example, To refine the idea means to carefully revise and polish its elements for greater clarity and effectiveness. In this sentence, the signal word means is used to introduce the meaning of the new word refine.

Thirdly, the speaker may provide examples to help explain the meaning of a new word or term. For example, This year, we have organized a series of charity events with the participation of celebrities – famous actors, TV presenters, musicians, and athletes. In this sentence, famous actors, TV presenters, musicians, and athletes serve as examples, which together help you understand the meaning of celebrities.
