1 My personal thoughts about the readings Do we really realized how well listeners we really are? It is something really necessary when learning how to learn and how to teach. It is a must to be exercised in the way to be present and also to be in someone elses shoes when they are talking. Besides that, it is important to become true and critical listeners by being friendlier way in our attitude. In teaching, teachers should be good observers of what is really happening on our classrooms and then, this can guide us to be critical listeners. I will rank this reading with 5 due to the importance of being critical listeners and the complement we as teacher can have with being present with our students and collegues.
