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. Er a + We listen to understand , os + We listen for enjoyment. 2 <= «We listen to learn. rap z Given all the listening that we do, you would think we would be good at it! In fact, most of us are not, and research suggests that we only remember between 25 percent and 60 percent of what we hear. 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. Tum it around and it reveals that when you are receiving directions or being presented with information, you are not hearing the whole message either. You hope the important parts are captured in your 25-50 percent, but what if they are not? d 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 is more, you will avoid conflict and misunderstandings. All of these are necessary for strong relationships with others, at home, socially, in education and in the workplace.The following tips can help you to be a good listener. + Be ready to listen * You should concentrate on what you are listening for. Do not think of anything else You should know what you are listening for. © Try to guess the meanings of the unfamiliar words by looking at the context they are used ‘+ Ifyou are listening to important details, be sure to jot them down, especially numbers. + You should not try to write down all the words as you will not have the time for that. + Write using simple or common abbreviations/short forms. * Try to make sense of what you are listening to. By doing this, you will be able to relate different parts of the listening text.Warm-up activity ‘A. Listen to a speech on general listening strategies in a seminar. Complete the checklist.

This time, rather than taking in the big picture, you are looking for something specific and rejecting anything that does not match what is on your list. Similarly, when listening for specific information, you are interested in a specific kind of information ~ perhaps a number, name or object. You can ignore anything that does not ‘sound relevant. In this way, you are able to narrow down your search and get the detail you need For example, if you are asked to write down the age of a person, listen for the words related to age (‘old’, ‘young’, ‘years’, ‘date of birth’, etc.) or a number that could represent that Person's age. If it is a conversation, you might wait to hear someone beginning a question with ‘How old...? Another example, you could also listen to a weather report to get details about the weather, or you could follow the sports. When you listen for specific information, you should pay attention to details.
