HOW TO BE GOOD LISTENER

DEFINITION

Listening is an essential part of communication, and it is different from hearing. Being a good and patient listener

helps you not only solve many problems at work or home, but also to see the world through the eyes of

others, thereby opening your understanding and enhancing your capacity for empathy. In addition, you learn a lot from listening. As simple as listening to and acknowledging other people may seem, doing it well, particularly when disagreements arise, takes sincere

effort and lots of practice.

GOODLISTENER

INCLASS

Determine to be a good listener

Make up your mind that you’re going to improve your grades, enhance your skills, develop new interests, and discover hidden talents.

Come to class prepared

Do your homework. Review the lessons from the days before because they’re going to relate to what you’re going to learn today. When you need help, get it.

.TAKE GOOD NOTES

Learn what kind of notes is best for you. Outlines? Lists? Diagrams? Drawings? Leave plenty of margin space so you can go back later and add to the notes or jot down questions for the next class. Listen for key points. Learn to write quickly, perhaps with your own abbreviations and notations. Then, go back to the notes as soon as possible after class to clarify anything you may have trouble remembering later.

Ask questions

If you’re struggling, ask clarifying, meaningful questions. Teachers can’t know if you’re having trouble if you don’t tell them. We teachers want you to succeed. We want you to enjoy our subjects as much as we do. We want you develop your talents. Show an interest, and watch how encouraging we can be!

Be respectful

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Don’t interrupt, criticize, mock, or be cynical. This is true in class and beyond. Listen, really listen, to what others are saying.
