TERAMPIL MENYIMAK EKSTENSIF

Menyimak ekstensif (extensive listening) merupakan kegiatan menyimak yang dilakukan

dalam kehidupan sehari-hari mengenai hal-hal yang lebih umum dan lebih bebas terhadap
suatu ujaran. Dalam pelaksanaannya, menyimak ekstensif tidak memerlukan bimbingan dari
guru karena bahan simakan yang perlu dipahami hanya secara sepintas, umum, atau garis
besarnya saja. Misalnya, menyimak radio, televisi, percakapan orang di pasar, dan
sebagainya. Jenis menyimak ini dapat digunakan dengan dua tujuan yang berbeda:

a. Untuk menangkap atau mengingat kembali bahan yang telah dikenal atau diketahui
dalam suatu lingkungan baru dengan cara yang baru.

b. Dapat pula memberi kesempatan penyimak untuk mendengar dan menyimak butir-
butir kosakata dan struktur-struktur yang masih asing atau baru baginya yang terdapat
dalam arus ujaran yang berada di dalam jangkauan dan kapasitasnya untuk
menanganinya.

A. MENYIMAK SOSIAL

Menyimak sosial disebut juga dengan menyimak konversasional atau menyimak sosial
(Tarigan, 2015). Menyimak jenis ini berlangsung dalam situasi sosial, misalnya orang
mengobrol, bercengkerama mengenai hal-hal yang menarik perhatian semua orang,
merespons yang pantas, dan memperlihatkan perhatian yang wajar terhadap apa yang
dikemukakan atau dikatakan orang. Dalam menyimak sosial, setidaknya mencakup dua hal,
yakni:
a. Menyimak secara sopan santun dan penuh perhatian terhadap percakapan atau obrolan
dalam situasi sosial dengan suatu maksud.
b. Menyimak serta memahami peranan-peranan pembicara dan penyimak dalam proses
komunikasi.
