2024-04-18 10:30:05 UTC

In Top down listening; The listener uses his background knowledge of the topic and contextualizes words to aid comprehension. For example; while trying to talk someone in a crowded place as we can't hear all the conversation,we can guess the parts we don't understand by using our background knowledge.

bottom-up listening uses sounds,words ,other small units to create the meaning. Words are more important rather than meaning.

A successfull listening depends on combining of these 2 processes.
