Stage Hogging People who are only interested in expressing their own ideas, and who don’t care about what others have to say on the subject. Sometimes prompting can also just be silence, but attentive eye contact and a nodding head. I know that sometimes we just want to be encouraging, but saying: “you shouldn’t feel that way,” can be very hurtful. Even if you have been through something similar it is appropriate to not make assumptions about emotions. These sort of question are open-ended because they are seeking more details. Even when we have understood the words in a message, because of the differences in our backgrounds and experience, we sometimes make the mistake of attaching our own meanings to the words of others.
As this was the last post in the blog series on listening I hope you will share your thoughts on what you might have learned, or what you think of the posts.Analyzing means offering an interpretation of the speaker’s message. Top-down listening refers to using background knowledge (of the world or of text structure) to understand a listening text, so a top-down pre-listening activity would involve asking students to recall what they know about the topic of the listening track.

Author Joseph DeVito has divided the listening process into five stages: receiving, understanding, remembering, evaluating, and responding (DeVito, 2000). As the speaker delivers the message, a listener signals his or her involvement with focused attention, note-taking, nodding, and other behaviors that indicate understanding or failure to understand the message.
The one that is the most appropriate is also the one where you are the most genuine and engaged in the conversation. By becoming aware of what is involved with active listening and where difficulties might lie, you can prepare yourself both as a listener and as a speaker to minimize listening errors with your own public speeches.In the understanding stage, we attempt to learn the meaning of the message, which is not always easy.
