Effective Listening - The Odyssey of Nonverbal Signals and Cues

This paper is intended to give insight into both audible and visual nonverbal cues and to provide experiences, which will enable the reader to understand the pragmatic application of these cues in an interpersonal communication event.  Its immediate application is instruction, but because nonverbal elements are so important, it also has a general application.

Good & Poor Listening Behavior across Situations, Perceived Listener Status & Cultures

This empirical study investigates differential perceptions of good and poor listening behavior across different communicative fields, perceived listener status (superior, equal, subordinate), and cultures (Germany, United States).  Results show that the accounts for good and poor listening behavior depend on the topic, the assigned listener status, and the cultural background of the communication.

Teaching Listening:  What Do We Know?  What Should We Know?

Listening is the communication activity most often used on any given day, and it is recognized as one of the four most important skills for undergraduates to possess.  However, it receives little instructional time at the college level.  Currently, there are few theories to guide the teaching of listening.  But, with the help of Teacher Research, we can create and test theories to build a more complete listening pedagogy.

Listening:  The Art of Medical Specialty Consultation

Successful medical specialty consultation depends on effective communication of questions posed by a variety of "clients," patients, families, physicians, and other health care providers.  Until now, no structure has been proposed to insure that each party's questions are heard and answered or that each party receives needed responses from the specialist.  The paper presents a structured format for effective listening and communication in a medical specialty environment.

Moving Students Toward Competent Listening:  The Thompson-Dathe Integrative Listening Model (ILM)

The Integrative Listening Model (ILM) is a framework for teaching and assessing listening systematically and developmentally in an academic setting.  We provide a process (listening preparation, receiving, constructing meaning, responding) viewed through three dimensions of the listener--attitude, knowledge, and skills/behavior.  The developmental nature of listening competence is clustered into 3 levels (beginning, intermediate, and advanced), and criteria for assessing and self assessing student's listening performance are generally defined.

Listening & Mentoring

This report as part of a larger field study examines the mentoring program for theatre majors at a regional university in the southern United States.  Results from in-depth interviews with a protégé and a mentor reveal that a successful mentor must meet the requirements of good listening.  A mentor needs to be there for the protégé and develop a relational bond with the protégé by showing empathy, caring, and equality.
