Listening Skills

We were given two ears but only one mouth - listening is twice as important as talking.

• Look at the person talking.

• Make face and eye contact.

• Listen with your eyes as well as your ears.

• Be interested and attentive

• Do not talk while the teacher or another student is talking.

• Concentrate on what the speaker is saying.

• Sit up - good posture helps you pay attention.

• If you find yourself daydreaming - change your body position and concentrate on being a good listener, it takes work!
