Chapter 3 Listening

As time fly by quickly it was the 3rd week of the semester. The 'extra' mark activity was yet again open for everyone on that day. Recap-ing the lessons learned from the previous class is very important, well said by the lecturer-Mr.Anuari.
Another chance I missed out to grab the opportunity having that 1mark. OMG :(
The topic Mr.Anuari gonna tell us today was about stages/process of listening, listening and culture, and lastly listening effectively.
Listening is a specialized process, a type of perception, by which you receive auditory signals.
Also the process of receiving, constructing meaning from and responding to spoken and/or non-verbal messages.
The 5 Stages of listening process/cycle:










STAGES:
Receiving: Verbally and nonverbally, Hearing auditory stimuli
Understanding: Decoding the speaker’s messages
Remembering: Retaining messages received and understood for at least some period of time

Before moving to the following ones, Mr.Anuari gave us an exercise to train our memorizing powers.
He showed us the following selected words.
Bed                  Communication          
Rest                 Listening
Dream             Hearing
Awake             Feedback
Comfort           Receiving
Sound              Blur
Wake               Positive
Tired                Noise
Night               Banana
eat                     happy
After 2minutes we are suppose to write down all the words on a piece of paper without peeking or talking to each other in the class. We later found out that most of us got the word 'Sleep' which is not found inside the selected words. This is because our mind helps us to sum up everything and got the word Sleep, which is related to all of the selected words.

Evaluating: Judging messages you hear
Responding: Responding occurs in two phases: responses while the speaker is talking

Listening is difficult.
It will be more difficult when speaker and listener come from different culture.
Language and Cultures:
1.Language & speech
2.nonverbal behavioral differences
3.Direct and indirect styles
4.balance of story versus evidence
5.Credibility
6.Feedback

Listening Effectively has different ways such as:
Participatory and passive listening
Empathic & objective listening
Nonjudgmental & critical listening
Surface & depth listening
