Student-Led Discussion 2: Chapter 3, Listening
In Chapter 3, Listening, Gregory discusses the importance of listening to the speaker. Gregory points out that although the words “hearing” and “listening” are used interchangeably, they have two separate connotations. Hearing is picking up soundwaves with our ears, while listening is making sense of what the speaker is saying with our mind. I have now grasped the concept of what listening actually is. Two behaviors that I have observed or participated in are electronic usage during a speech or presentation and becoming distracted. As a result, I have decided to emphasize the importance of rejecting electronic intrusions and resisting distractions.
The initial pointer that captivated my attention
Listening is ‘Not an attempt to understand something that is being said’ but ‘Just an attention to the activity of sounds’

James Petersen (2007) uses five parts to describe the talking and listening to help us process a better way of communicating and understanding each other. They are provided to help us connect in our relationships with others. According to Petersen, most of us think we listen well, but we don’t. Not
The topic discussed by Julian Treasure in his TED Talk is listening. He gives some suggestions on how to improve our listening in our everyday lives. He also explains how listening is something that should be improved on by society because it is not being used effectively. During his discussion he makes some valid points that I agree with and will explain how and go more into detail in the following paragraphs.
However, in the other remaining parts of the book, the reader can observe the different techniques that Dr. Petersen provides what is related to listening, using the many different examples especially in the issues that it raise in groups of people.

Given that listening accounts for 45 per cent of time spent on communication (Eunson 2012:310), argue the importance of listening skills in the workplace. Your analysis should identify three specific listening behaviors and provide examples to demonstrate how these skills promote communication and understanding.

You and I have similar views in regard to Andy and what we say during the assessment. One thing you picked up on in which I missed was Andy’s posture. While watching the assessment I did not pay much attention to his posture because I was paying more attention to how many times he scanned the room or how much he was moving and talking with his hands. While reading your post I realize Andy was hunched over with his shoulder low at times during the interview. Outside of this miss observation on my part you and I viewed the assessment through a similar lens. I agree further support and assessment would be highly recommended and even a psychological evaluation for medication to help with his hallucinations and delusional symptoms. Thanks
Problem Statement- In the Issues Involved was all about testing your ability to read graphs accurately. It was almost like a pre-test for scaling because they asked questions such as “Should the vertical axis always begin at zero? What is the effect if the axis does not begin at zero? What about the horizontal axis?” Conclusively, the Issues Involved was about how scaling can make a graph inaccurate and how vital scaling can be in a graph.
What is active listening, it the process of information, which uses all of our senses to convey a message through perceiving of sound? Our, hearing, smell, taste and touch are part of our senses that we sometimes use without knowing we are doing it. Moreover, listening correctly, can be a crucial part of encoding and decoding the message, for clarification and understanding what the message is conveying. While deciphering messages, you get a sense of understanding what the message is trying to express. Next, is trying to remember or recall what the message is so that you can retain it. Also, evaluating what you hear and decoded or deciphered it is essential to understanding what the message is. When we actively listen, there is some paraphrasing during this process, where you have to restate the information given by the speaker into your own words. Lastly, responding to the message with an answer, it could be for learning purposes, personal, enjoyment or even employment, it is important to listen to ensure understanding actively. As we respond, there is an answer and feedback given (DeVito 2016) as a response.
Active Listening It is most important to learn how to pay full attention to others as they communicate, and this process involves more than merely listening to the words. It involves absorbing the content, noting gestures and subtle changes in voice or expression, and
Listening is more complex, and it encourages one to analyze and think about an idea, rather than to simply accept it (or “hear” it). Hearing is a skill that is beneficial for every aspect of life. As long as we have our ability to hear, we will always perceive different sounds, music, and voices. Listening, however, is beneficial to us in specific instances. It is important for us to attain good listening skills in education, the work force, and in our relationships with others in order to succeed. Good listening in education will bring about confident participation in class discussions; good listening in the workplace will lead to cooperation and good teamwork among colleagues; good listening in relationships is healthy and positive, for it is important to hear what an individual has to say in order to know how they feel.
