On some general educational skills of cognitive listening

   The process of dialogization in the modern information society of the early 21^st century combines such concepts as speech behavior and socialization of the individual; digital and functional literacy; cultural and historical memory of native speakers; language and the linguistic picture of the human world. The ability to communicate is the basis of the student’s communicative and educational-cognitive competence. This article discusses some general academic listening skills. By “general academic” listening skills, we understand the abilities that act as a certain indicator of individual independence, one’s ability to live in society and the graduates’ readiness for professional activity. The goals of listening include – comprehension, information processing, knowledge acquisition, truth pursuit, communication with the outside world, mutual assistance, participation and involvement with other people in the process of communication. Therefore, the development of listening skills is based on the dialectical method of analyzing the surrounding reality. Since meaningful listening is a form of cognitive activity, we will consider listening as a type of speech activity, in which the “center of responsibility” for the quality of the acquired knowledge is shifted towards the student, towards self-learning. In the course of the Russian language learning, the development of listening skills, hinging on the cognitive approach, in our understanding, is based on achievements in the field of psychology, linguistics, sociology, pedagogy and philosophy. We come to the conclusion that listening skills are generally academic, therefore, the patterns of cognitive thinking are interdisciplinary, functional and cognitive.
