Process of listening
Stage 1: Receiving
Receiving is the intentional focus on hearing a speaker’s message, which
happens when we filter out other sources so that we can isolate the message
and avoid the confusing mixture of incoming stimuli. At this stage, we are still
only hearing the message.
Stage 2: Understanding
In the understanding stage, we attempt to learn the meaning of the message,
which is not always easy. For one thing, if a speaker does not enunciate clearly,
it may be difficult to tell what the message was.
Stage 3: Remembering
Remembering begins with listening; if you can’t remember something that was
said, you might not have been listening effectively.
Stage 4: Evaluating
The fourth stage in the listening process is evaluating or thinking critically
about the message. We might think, “This makes sense” or conversely, “This is
very odd.”
Stage 5: Responding Through Feedback
Feedback-: Response to the message is the fifth and final stage of the listening
process. we often give feedback in the form of words, feedback can be either
verbal or nonverbal. Almost anything a listener says or does can be
interpreted as feedback.
