Is hearing the same as listening?
Short answer. No. Hearing is passive; listening needs your attention.
How do you check you understood?
Ask a question or repeat the main point back.
Active listening
| Pay attention to the speaker |
| Nod to show you listen |
| Ask or repeat to check |
| Do not interrupt |
Remember
| Hearing is passive |
| Listening needs attention |
You heard your teacher. Did you listen? Active listening has simple steps. Pay attention. Nod to show you are listening. Ask a question to check. Never interrupt. Two points. Hearing is passive. Listening needs your attention.
