WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
According to Epictetus, a Greek Stoic philosopher, “We have two ears and one
mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” Do you agree with this
idea about listening?
One of the macro skills in learning language is listening. This skill may seem
so simple to many, but its process is quite complex that sometimes, we interchange
the idea of listening from hearing. Listening is a skill and what better way of honing
this skill is for us to practice and engage ourselves in its process.
Listening is a very important area of communication because we spend most
of our time with it at work, in school and in almost every minute conversation.
Oftentimes, however, we do not listen effectively. Studies show that we usually
forget from one-third to one-half of what we hear within eight hours or even less
due to our inability to listen well. Such inability leads to misunderstanding and
miscommunication or no communication at all. Because of this, we must learn how
to listen effectively.
In this lesson, you will know what listening is, especially active listening.
Likewise, you will discover and apply ways on how to listen actively on various
information from songs in radio and television, news reports, speeches, informative
talks, panel discussions, etc. that can be used in everyday conversations and
exchanges, complying to the kind of demand we have today. This module already
provides the listening text needed by you for easy access of information,
considering that not all have access to the internet, so that you can work
continuously with the different tasks.

WHAT’S NEW
WHAT IS IT
The extensive use of the telephone, movies, radio, television, and public
address system has amplified the importance of listening. Many jobs and positions
depend quite heavily upon effective listening. In the classroom and in everyday life,
effective listening helps one to get along and to learn. We use information from
news reports, speeches, informative talks, panel discussions, and others in
everyday conversations and exchanges through listening. Yet, do we have the
listening skills adequate to meet the needs of the present world?
ACTIVE LISTENING
Listening is one of the most important skills you can have. How well you
listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness and on the quality of your
relationships with others.
For instance:
• We listen to obtain information.
• We listen to understand.
• We listen for enjoyment.
• We listen to learn.

Given all the listening that we do, you would think we'd be good at it! In fact,
most of us are not, and research suggests that we only remember between 25% and
50% of what we hear, as described by Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience. That means
that when you talk to your boss, colleagues, customers, or spouse for 10 minutes,
they pay attention to less than half of the conversation.
Clearly, listening is a skill that we can all benefit from improving. By
becoming a better listener, you can improve your productivity, as well as your
ability to influence, persuade and negotiate. What's more, you'll avoid conflict and
misunderstandings. All of these are necessary for workplace success!

what has been said also communicates that you are listening and understanding
his message.
There are five key active listening techniques you can use to help you
become a more effective listener:
Source: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Active-Listener-Poster-3071808
1. Pay Attention
Give the speaker your undivided attention and acknowledge the message.
Recognize that non-verbal communication also “speaks” loudly.
• Look at the speaker directly.
• Put aside distracting thoughts.
• Don't mentally prepare a rebuttal!
• Avoid being distracted by environmental factors (for example, side
conversations).
• “Listen” to the speaker's body language.
6
• Encourage the speaker to continue with small verbal comments like yes,
and “uh huh.”
3. Provide Feedback
Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments, and beliefs can distort what
we hear. As a listener, your role is to understand what is being said. This may
require you to reflect on what is being said and to ask questions.
• Reflect on what has been said by paraphrasing. “What I'm hearing is...,”
and “Sounds like you are saying...,” are great ways to reflect back.
• Ask questions to clarify certain points. “What do you mean when you
say....” “Is this what you mean?”
• Summarize the speaker's comments periodically.
4. Defer Judgment
Interrupting is a waste of time. It frustrates the speaker and limits full
understanding of the message.
• Allow the speaker to finish each point before asking questions.
• Don't interrupt with counter arguments.
5. Respond Appropriately
Active listening is designed to encourage respect and understanding. You are
gaining information and perspective. You add nothing by attacking the speaker or
otherwise putting her down.
• Be candid, open, and honest in your response.
• Assert your opinions respectfully.
• Treat the other person in a way that you think he/she would want to be
treated.

Task 3: LISTEN, READ, AND UNDERSTAND. Listen to an informative discussion
about coronavirus using the link below. If you have no access to the
internet, read the following text.
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC4soCjxSOQ
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the expert body on
coronavirus, has released guidance for general public and healthcare professionals
on the symptoms of the virus.
What signs and symptoms should you look out for? A person could be at risk
if they have any or all of the following: fever and symptoms of lower respiratory
illness, such as coughing or difficulty breathing, after travelling to Wuhan or
having close contact with someone who was ill and is now under investigation for
the virus in the past two weeks, fever or symptoms of lower respiratory illness after
having close contact in the past two weeks with someone who's been confirmed to
have the virus. The CDC defined “close contact” as being within about 6 feet (1.8 m)
“or within the room or care area” of a person with the coronavirus for a prolonged
period without appropriate protective clothing, or “having direct contact with
infectious secretions” of a person with the virus without protective clothing.
Which people should be extra careful? Coronaviruses are particularly
dangerous for people who have weaker immune systems, like young children and
older adults.
How to protect yourself? To protect yourself from the virus, try to avoid
contact with people who display symptoms similar to those of pneumonia or the
common cold, like coughing or a runny nose. Don't touch your eyes, nose, or
mouth with unwashed hands. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water,
and scrub for at least 20 seconds. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer when possible.
Avoid animals and animal markets. The only current treatment for Coronavirus
being offered is supportive in nature. If you notice any of these signs and
symptoms, please contact your nearest Professional Healthcare setup. Help spread
this information to everyone (Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC4soCjxSOQ).
