Good Listening Skills Attending skills A posture of involvement. Eye contact Non-distracting environment. Posture: body language showing interest not disinterest. Students to provide suggestions. Eye contact: Social/cultural sensitivity. Environment: Ideally, conversation happens somewhere without distractions. If not, listener must concentrate on speaker & edit out distractions.

Good Listening Skills Following Skills Door openers Minimal encouragers Infrequent Questions Attentive Silence Door Openers: encourage the speaker to talk. Ask a question which requires more than a ‘yes/no’ answer. Minimal encouragers: body language again – nod head in agreement etc. Students to provide other examples. Infrequent questions – don’t ask questions constantly, only if the speaker needs to be encouraged back onto topic. Attentive silence – sometimes speakers need time to think about what to say next. Short pauses are OK.

Summarising the whole of the conversation, not just certain points.

Individual Activity Write down what you believe your strengths and weaknesses in listening are at this point. Write down a short term and/or long term goal in regards to improving your listening.

Topic for speakers: “The greatest challenge facing me in the transition from college to full time employment…” Person 3 – feedback for person 1. Rotate the tasks ...
