Today’s
lecture is discussing about the “Listening” as defined as a specialized
process, a type of perception by which will receive auditory signals. In other
word, listening is the process of receiving, constructing meaning from and
responding to spoken and non-verbal message.
We have to
go through 5 stages of listening. Those are RECEIVING, UNDERSTANDING,
REMEMBERING, EVALUATING and RESPONDING. Most memorable stage is third stage,
remembering. We have a fun activity for this stage which lecturer give us a
list of words and asked us to memorize. Almost all of us got to remember at
least 15/20 words. I was surprising when our lecturer asked us whether the word
“sleep” has listed. I ACTUALLY DID. OMG. Maybe those words are almost related
to the word “sleep” and it automatically appears this word in my mind.
Listening
is influenced by a wide range of cultural factors, such as difference in
language and speech, nonverbal behaviors, credibility criteria, direct and
indirect styles and feedback.
We have to
learn some skill to emphasize our listening such as participatory and passive
listening, empathic & objective listening, nonjudgmental & critical
listening and surface & depth listening. I personally feel that the surface
and depth listening is the most common in our daily life. For example, a couple
has conflict for a small matter and the girl might request for break up. Actually
she doesn’t mean to that but seek for attention from the boy.
