Q

entails listening with the goal of comprehending and retaining information. It is not evaluative and is common in teaching and learning contexts ranging from a student listening to an informative speech to an out-of-towner listening to directions to the nearest gas station. We also use informational listening when we listen to news reports, voice mail, and briefings at work. Since retention and recall are important components of informational listening, good concentration and memory skills are key.

Q

BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE LISTENING

A

Physical barriers
This include hearing disabilities, poor acoustics, and noisy surroundings.

Tuning out
Each of us has an idea of what is right and what is important and brings to the communication process a different set of cultural, ethical, and personal values. If other ideas run counter to our preconceived thoughts, we tend to “tune out” the speaker and thus fail to hear.

Language problems
Unfamiliar words can put an end to the communication process because they lack meaning for the receiver.

Nonverbal distractions
Many of us find it hard to listen if a speaker is different from what we view as normal. Unusual clothing, radical hairstyle, speech mannerisms can prevent us from hearing what the speaker has to say.

Thought speed
The difference between speech and thought rate connects to personal barriers to listening, as personal concerns are often the focus of competing thoughts that can take us away from listening and challenge our ability to concentrate on others’ messages.

Faking attention (pseudo-listening)
This is a type of non-listening that consists of appearing attentive in conversation while actually ignoring or only partially listening to the other speaker. The intent of pseudo-listening is not to listen, but to cater to some other personal need of the listener.
