25 JUNE FS Q.28

0. In a class room, a student to be an effective listener, has to take note of
(1) The teacher appearance
(2) The peer group
(3) The academic content
(4) Communication distractions
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : Important factors/clues for effective listening:
    1. Face the speaker and maintain eye contact
    2. Be attentive, but relaxed
    3. Keep an open mind
    4. Listen to the words and try to picture what the speaker is saying
    5. Don't interrupt and don't impose your opinion/solution
    6. Wait for the speaker to pause to ask clarifying questions
    7. Ask questions only to ensure understanding
    8. Try to feel what the speaker is feeling
    9. Give the speaker regular feedback
    10. Pay attention to what isn't said-to nonverbal cues.
    In classroom communication, the appearance of the speaker (teacher) does not suggest any significant non verbal clue.
    Linear communication takes place between the teacher and the student; the peer group is outside this process/channel unless the teaching is done through group communication.
    So, a student needs to pay attention to the academic content being delivered by the teacher; and, needs to eliminate/overcome communication distractions /barriers for effective listening.
