Question

Is there a difference between hearing and listening? Discuss a time when you were simply hearing but not listening. Why is this difference important to learning? Which listening style do you possess (see page 103)? In your profession what are the possible benefits and detriments of your listening style?

Answer 1

Answer: 1- Hearing is hearing the words come out but not putting enough effort to understand what is exactly being said, listening is taking the initiative to listen to what the person speaking is saying. 2- You can be hearing but not listening when your favorite show is on. 3- The difference is important to learning because its good to know whats the difference between the two. Good luck with the last couple questions!:)
