How To Be A GoodListener?


3/13

Listening is an essential part ofcommunication,and it is different fromhearing. Being a good and

patientlistener helps you not only solve many

problems at work,home or class, but also to see theworld through the eyes of others, thereby opening

your understanding and enhancing your capacity forempathy. Besides which, you learn a lot fromlistening. As deceptively simple as listening to and

acknowledging other people may seem, doing itwell, particularly when disagreements arise, takes

sincere effort and lots of practice.

If you are heavily engaged in an activity and someone comes to youunexpectedly, do one of two things. Either stop what you are doingand give them your full attention or ask them to please come backlater because you cannot be interrupted now.

If the person returns later, stop what you are doing, look at them andgive them your full attention.Never interrupt the person before they are finished talking.

Never judge the person that's talking to you. Be open to suggestionsand solutions.

If you are having a conversation that requires details that you knowyou wont remember, write them down on paper.

If the person requires an answer that is beyond your knowledge orexpertise, refer them to someone else. Dont just brush off what theyare talking about because you don't have the answer.

When someone is talking to you, dont walk away when they

are talking. Look at their eyes so they can know that you arelistening and that what they are saying is important.

Learn to read in between the lines so that you can hear whatthey are really saying.

Never mock what the person has to say.

Be Cognitively Ready to Listen When You Come to ClassMake sure you complete all assigned work and readings.Review your notes from previous class sessions. Thinkabout what you know about the topic that will be covered inclass that day.

Be Emotionally Ready to Listen When You Come to Class

Your attitude is important. Make a conscious choiceto find the topic useful and interesting. Be

committed to learning all that you can.

Listen with a Purpose

Identify what you expect and hope to learn from the classsession. Listen for these things as your teacher talks.

Listen with an Open Mind.Be receptive to what your teacher says. It is good toquestion what is said as long as you remain open to pointsof view other than your own.


7/13

Be Attentive

Focus on what your teacher is saying. Try not todaydream and let your mind wander to other things. Ithelps to sit in the front and center of the class, and to

maintain eye contact with your teacher

Be an Active Listener

You can think faster than your teacher can speak. Use this toyour advantage by evaluating what is being said and trying to

anticipate what will be said next. Take good written notesabout what your teacher says. While you can think faster thanyour teacher can speak, you cannot write faster than yourteacher can speak. Taking notes requires you to makedecisions about what to write, and you have to be an activelistener to do this.

Meet the Challenge

Don't give up and stop listening when you find the informationbeing presented difficult to understand. Listen even morecarefully at these times and work hard to understand what is

being said. Don't be reluctant to ask questions.

Taking good notes is a three-stage

process in which there are certainthings you should do :

before class during class after class

Here are the three stages ofnotetaking and what you should do

during each stage :


10/13

~Before Class~

Get Ready to Take Notes :

Review your notes from the previous class session before youcome to class. This will help you remember what was covered and

get you ready to understand new information your teacher

provides.

Complete all assigned readings before you come to class.Your teacher will expect that you have done this and will use and

build upon this information.

Bring all notetaking materials with you to class. Haveseveral pens and pencils as well as your notebook.


11/13

~During Class~

Take Notes :

Keep your attention focused on what your teacher is saying.Listen for "signal statements" that tell you that what yourteacher is about to say is important to write in your notes.

Examples of signal statements are "The most importantpoint..." and "Remember that..." Be sure to include in your

notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on thewhiteboard.

Write quickly so that you can include all the importantinformation in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviated words

such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent,and writing short sentences.

Place a ? next to information you write in your notes, but

about whose meaning you are not sure.


12/13

~After Class~

Rewrite Your Notes :

Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changingabbreviated words into whole words, symbols into words, and

shortened sentences into longer sentences.

Make your notes more accurate by answering any questionsyou had when writing your notes in class. Use your textbookandreference sources to obtain the information you need to answeryour questions. If necessary, ask your teacher or other students

for help.

Check with other students to be sure you did not leave outimportant information.
