This document discusses the importance of listening and defines three types of listening: content listening, critical listening, and active listening. Content listening involves understanding key points without note taking, critical listening evaluates logic and validity, and active listening interprets feelings and perspectives. Effective listening requires finding areas of interest, judging content over delivery, listening for ideas, and resisting distractions. The conclusion emphasizes that listening is as important as speaking for successful oral communication, but many people underestimate its importance.

LISTENING TKT Book Presentation BY Karen Schneeberger
Listening The International Listening Association (1996) defines listening as the process of receiving, constructing meaning from, and responding to spoken and/or nonverbal messages.
If speaking is silver, then listening is gold. -Turkish Proverb
Three Types of Listening 1. Content listening Involves understanding and retaining basic information flowing from the speaker to you. It is important to minimize note taking and instead to make a mental outline of the key points. It is imperative to understand the message.
Three Types of Listening 2.Critical listening Entails evaluating the logic, strength, and validity of a message. Refrain from making judgements about the speaker and information until the end because it is difficult to absorb information and evaluate it at the same time. Also, you want to assess the speakers credibility. The speakers nonverbal signals are good indicators of uncertainty and honesty.
Three Types of Listening 3. Active listening Involves interpreting the speakers feelings, needs, and wants. Avoid judging the other persons feeling and try not to give advice just let the individual talk. Listen emphatically and attempt to understand the speakers point of view.
To Listen Effectively Find areas of interest. Judge content, not delivery. Hold your fire. Listen for ideas. Be flexible. Work at listening. Resist distractions. Exercise your mind. Keep your mind open. Capitalize on the fact that thought is faster than speech
The Good Listener Judges content over delivery errors. Doesnt judge until comprehension in complete; interrupts only to clarify. Listens for central themes. Takes fewer notes. Exhibits active body state. Fights or avoids distractions; tolerates bad habits; knows how to concentrate. Interprets emotional words. Challenges; anticipates; mentally summarizes; weighs the evidence; listens between the lines to tone of voice.
Conclusion Listening is extremely important if individuals wish to orally communicate successfully. Although it may seem that the speaker plays the major role in this type of communication, the listener is equally important because if the listener does not understand the message, the speakers entire purpose is useless. If the listener can not understand what the speaker is trying to convey, then clear oral communication is not occurring.
Conclusion Listening is a part of our everyday lives and it is a skill we use constantly. Most people who enter the real world should have had plenty of experience throughout their lives listening to others and should have mastered the skill by now. However, this is not the case. Many individuals still underestimate how important it is to listen, and continue to speak unnecessarily.
