Active listening is very important to all of us for us to be understood.
Active listening for me is RESPECT,
because you are paying attention to the speaker. Aside from that you are willing to listen to the speaker to understand what he or she are talking about. For us to be an active listener we need to know the verbal and non-verbal techniques for us to show our attention to the speaker. Like for example, this distance learning that we are dependent to the speed of internet and gadgets. While we are in the meeting and our teacher are teaching, all of us are willing to listen to our instructor for us to understand the topic. Some of us are nodding their heads to show for the speaker that we understand him/her. We are also smiling to encourage our teachers to continue because we are interested to what he/she are teaching to us. Aside from understanding the topic we can share our insights to the topic after the discussion because we are actively listening to the instructor. This is very important, because it helps us to improve our mutual understanding towards to another human being.
