Engage in sustained oral/signed communication and evaluate spoken/signed text
Activity:
Q1: How can you avoid listening to something that you don’t want to hear when you are in the
same room with the speaker? (page 15)
You can avoid listening to something that you don’t want to hear when you are in the same room
as the speaker by interrupting the speaker, asking questions, and distracting yourself.
Q2: Name 3 types of listening habits. (page 15)
- List 5 things that make you dislike a speaker.
- In your opinion, is being likeable more important for a speaker’s success than having
something significant to say?
- Should it be the deciding factor?
- How do you react when you dislike a speaker?
Three types of listening habits are:
- Attentive listening: Listening to learn or gain more information.
- Critical listening: Listening to evaluate and analyse
- Appreciative listening: Listening to understand feelings and emotions.
5 Things that make me dislike a speaker:
- Speaking in the same tone through the entire talk
- Speaking too fast or too slow
- Fidgeting while talking
In my opinion, being likeable is of great importance to be a successful speaker. It means people will
pay more attention to you and actively try to listen to what you have to say.
I do not think it should be the only deciding factor though, as you can be a disliked speaker but
present your talk in a way that is amusing, stimulating and entertaining. You could present your talk
in a way that makes you likeable or believable.
When I dislike a speaker, I react by distracting myself. I try to find a way of overlooking things that
make me dislike a speaker by asking questions or interrupting the speaker.
Q3: What are the 3 obstacles to effective listening? (Page 15)
The obstacles to effective listening are lack of attention and being distracted, having different points
of view and interrupting all the time, and emotions - bringing your own ego into the topic being
spoken about and taking everything personally.
