BARRIERS OF LISTENING

Syazwan

: Asalammuailaikum Adonis, morning.

Adonis

: Wslm. Morning.

Syazwan

: Adonis how about your preparation for exam?

Adonis

: So far so good. How about you?

Syazwan

: In progress, but I really confuse about barriers to listening in chapter

listening and nonverbal message. Mental distraction is about what?

Adonis

: Okay. Mind distraction is likely emotion feeling for example worry, fear,
anger, grief and other.

Syazwan

: Oh I see, so mental distraction is the felling or emotion that interrupt

someone in listening.

Adonis

: Factor psychological also include in mental distraction.

Syazwan

: What psychological?

Adonis

: Yes psychological, Psychology is defined as the science of common sense,

sometimes also as knowledge about the behavior. It also included in mental
distraction.

Syazwan

: Ooooo.. I understand that. So psychological and emotion more or less

the same.

Adonis

: Syazwan, inappropriate timing is about what?

Syazwan

: Inappropriate timing about timing when speaker cant present an

appropriate time.

Adonis

: Yes, listener always knows whether the time is appropriate. As a listener

we have to give speaker time to present their message.

Syazwan

: That right, for example in a meeting. The manager has to arrange the right
time to meet the worker. So the workers have an appropriate time to speak.

Adonis

: Right, the workers can present a message in an adequate time. So that he

or she does not have to rush.

Syazwan

: Adonis, can you tell me about physical distraction.

Adonis

: Why not, physical distraction is about other obstacle in sensory stimuli

such as temperature, smell and noise.

Syazwan

: Temperature, smell and noise?? Can you give some example?

Adonis

: Okay, for example temperature. Can you imagine the weather in room, it
hot or too cool, it can interrupt your listening right.

Syazwan

: Yes that right, so as a listener, they cant focus to what the speaker says.
Okay, so noise is about the noisy from outside that interrupt listener to
focus at speaker. How about smell??

Adonis

: Smell is about something that listener smell from outside too.

Syazwan

: what kind the listener smell?? Im still confused.

Adonis

: Okay if you are listener in seminars. Your smell food that prepared by the
organizers. Your mind cant focus right.

Syazwan

: Yeah, the smell can be like that. So other smell also can be the distraction
for listener, like perfume, body smelly and anything else.

Adonis

: correct, so smelly can be something like that.

Syazwan

: So Adonis, I think that all for today. We meet again, thank you for your
explanation.

Adonis

: Sure, if you dont understand just call me.

Syazwan

: Okay, Bye.

Adonis

: Bye.
