Which student demonstrates active listening skills?
Students who demonstrate Active listening skills are Anton and Taylor.
The best strategy for an active listener to apply is to pay close attention to what the speaker is saying.
Active listening skill as the name suggests is the active participant while listening rather than being passive. It refers to the strategy of giving full attention to the speaker and not letting the speaker feel that he/she is speaking irrelevant. This strategy is applied effectively when it is responded through verbal and non-verbal communication. Non-verbal messages such as nodding while agreeing, by smiling, eye contact and replying by 'yes' or 'hmm' to encourage the speaker to speak at ease at honestly, by smiling and eye contact. As in the above instance, Taylor while listening took notes which depicts his non-verbal communication and Taylor asked questions showing his activeness through verbal communication.
