Q The purpose of this assignment is to identify effective and ineffective listening in the real world. Watch a television program or a movie/video and analyze an individual who is "supposedly" engaging in listening. Based on this observation, answer the following questions: 1. Whom are you observing and in what type of situation? 2. Does the person appear to be an effective or an ineffective listener? List the specific qualities, both verbal and nonverbal, that make the person a poor listener or a good listener. 3. Does the listener engage in any behaviors that interfere with the speaker (heckling, talking, making other noises, moving about, and so forth)? 4. What are the benefits of being a good listener? Does this listener appear to receive these benefits? 5. What could the listener have done differently? PreviousNext
