Discussion Topic

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.

Due Thursday

Most adults have either given a speech or have been an audience member. Regardless of which role you have taken, listening is important for speakers and audiences. We listen during meetings, while participating in group activities, when having conversations with our families, and when our peers give us feedback. Think about how effective you are as a listener.

Consider the following scenarios and ways you can improve your listening skills.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • Meetings – What are some signs that your audience members may not be listening? What are some ways to help the audience members focus in meetings and presentations?

  • Group communication – How can public speakers show others they are listening in a group situation? What are some ways to give feedback on what is being communicated by group members? Why is it important to help everyone in a group feel they are being heard?

  • Public speaking – What cues can an audience give you to show they are listening? How can you encourage your audience to tune in and listen to what you’re saying? What role might visual aids play in the listening process?

Due Monday

Post 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member. Be constructive and professional.
