Active listening is an important skill to master, both for you and your students.
Depending on what the student has said, an active response would be to (a) paraphrase what you have just heard, and when appropriate, (b) ask a question that will lead the student to his/her own solution. Down below are a few strategies that you might find helpful for your students to master active listening during the lectures, as well as for yourselves to become active listeners with your students.
Active listening techniques for students (adapted from S.A.Lipsky):
1. Beforehand, review notes from the previous session.
2. Have supplies ready to use - paper, pen, laptop, text, and other appropriate materials.
3. Position yourself to see and hear clearly.
4. Pay attention, be mindful of key ideas.
5. Take notes, either written or on a computer.
6. Be alert to verbal and non-verbal cues.
7. Participate - ask and asnwer questions.
8. Review your notes soon after the session, while the content is fresh in your mind.
9. Do something with your notes, such as:
- Organize pages.
- Highlight important ideas.
- Add explanations.
- Add information from text or other readings.
- Rewrite to make clearer.
- Summarize key points.
10. Follow up with resources, if appropriate. For example:
- Seek additional information from instructor.
- Go to tutoring or study/review sessions.
- Use supplemental or online course materials.
