  2. Listening Defined • Listening: involves more than just hearing a message. • It is the process of actively decoding and interpreting verbal messages. • Requires cognitive attention and information processing; hearing does not. 2

  3. Learning Objectives: Part A • To assess students’ strengths and weaknesses on various active listening dimensions. • To provide students with guidance on which areas of active listening are most developed and areas in need of improvement. 3

  4. Instructions: Part A • Complete the assessment and analyze your results. • Bring your results to class along with discussion questions. • Break into groups. • Discuss your results with one another. • Brainstorm ways to improve areas of active listening. Each group will elect a representative to share their group’s findings. • Reconvene as a class for discussion. 4

  5. Instructions: Part B • Stay in your groups from Part A. Your instructor will provide you information on different listening styles. • Who in your group is a results-style listener? Reasons-style? Process-style? • Answer the discussion questions. • Share your group’s discussion with the class. 5

Does knowing the way someone listens affect these suggestions? Why or why not? • Why might a process style listener frustrate a results style listener? 9
