Question

Differentiate between various types of Listening. Discuss how listening is important for

effective communication. (Word Limit- 150-175 words)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Most people, most of the time, take listening for granted, it’s something that just happens.  It is only when you stop to think about listening and what it entails that you begin to realise that listening is in fact an important skill that needs to be nurtured and developed.

Listening is perhaps the most important of all interpersonal skills and SkillsYouNeed has many pages devoted to the subject, see Listening Skills for an introduction. Further pages include The Ten Principles of Listening, Active Listening and Listening Misconceptions. 

Effective listening is very often the foundation of strong relationships with others, at home, socially, in education and in the workplace. This page draws on the work of Wolvin and Coakely (1996) and others to examine the various types of listening.

We hope that this page will be useful to both teachers – as teaching listening skills can be challenging – and also to students and other learners who are interested in developing their listening skills.
