8. Listening Skills
The older I grow, the more I listen to people who don’t
say much. Germaine G. Glidder
Listening is a skill whereas hearing is organic.
You can only listen when you are silent.
Listening without task is not listening actually.
For teaching of listening you should give more
information but with lesser tasks.
