It states that issues with customers are inevitable, so managers must be prepared to diffuse unhappy situations strategically. When a few major customers provide most of the profits, losing one relationship can damage the entire account. The document provides tips for active listening, including focusing on what the customer says rather than just hearing words, paraphrasing to show understanding, taking notes, observing body language, not interrupting, and asking questions for clarification.

It's highly unlikely, regardless of how good you are as a key account manager, that you will never
face the prospect of an unhappy customer in one of your key accounts. Issues happen. There are
always aspects that are out of your personal control, so being prepared to deal with one of your key
customer's unhappiness ahead of time is well advised. In the heat of the moment is not when you
want to strategically try to come up with a plan to diffuse your customer as quickly as possible.
When working in an environment where the select few make up your largest profit, as in key
account management relationships, one bad relationship can ruin an entire account. If you keep
some general guidelines in mind ahead of time, it is more likely that you will be able to handle the
situation when it arises with grace and dignity.

Know the difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is simply acknowledging a sound, but
listening is an active choice and requires concentration. If you are already thinking about how you
will respond to their statement, you are not listening. Paraphrase what you heard them say,
especially when it seems like a sticking point. As they are talking, write down what they are saying.
This does a couple of things. It not only shows that you are listening to what they are saying, but it
will also help you later when you are away from the meeting and analyzing what went wrong.
Listening does not only involve words; active listening is paying attention to their non–verbals to
see if you can pick up any additional clues as to the root of the problem. It's important not to
interrupt your customer; let them get everything out that they need to say. Sometimes being heard is
all they need to diffuse a heated situation. When they finish speaking, repeat back to them again
what you believe their concerns to be, ask them for validation and see if you missed anything

The listener has to show that they are following the speaker by sending out non–verbal signals
(Canadian Association of Student Activity Advisers, n.d.). Throughout each listening session I gave
short comforting smiles, and nodded occasionally to reassure the listener that they had my attention.
The various facial expressions that were usually in line with what the speaker was saying were clear
indicators of attention in both listening sessions. In the second listening video my facial expression
was not always corresponding to what the speaker was saying. This was also pointed out by the
Observer, who stated that I did not respond in an enthusiastic manner to the speaker's enthusiastic
speech (Ross &Short, 2011). I provided good Soler contact in both sessions, my proximity to the
speaker was upright and I was sitting at a comfortable angle and distance to the speaker, at all
moments. My posture was open, relaxed and inviting. As meaning cannot always be conveyed
effectively, the listener must participate actively in the cycle of communication (Canadian
Association of Student Activity Advisers, n.d.). In either session, I tried to offer short, reassuring
verbal comments to encourage the speakers in their speech process. During the first listening

In real–life communication, people use a variety of language skills, listening, speaking, reading, and
writing. When people learn a foreign language, they usually want to make use of that language to
communicate with people who speak the same language. They can find themselves in the need of
understanding them and talking to them. As Raimes (1983) states, listening and speaking are,
regardless of whom the people using the language are, at least as important as the other skills to
communicate.
Thus, it is essential for students to understand the language they are exposed to and respond
appropriately so that they can become competent users of that particular language. Seferoglu and
Uzakgöre (2004) cited in Tavil (2010) indicate that listening is an interactive process. The listener
does not always just listen to, but he or she also reacts to the speaker or asks questions for
clarification. The most essential issue for the students should be to understand what they are

46. Importance Of Listening Skills
Listening is more often used in communication than other skills. It plays a significant role in
communication and is considered as one of the fundamental skills in learning English. According to
Burley–Allen in Flowerdew and Miller, (2005: 22–23), the importance of listening skills for
communication can be seen from the average time people spend in daily communication. People
usually spend 35% of their time for speaking, 16% for reading, 9% for writing and 40% for
listening. Thus, listening in this matter is the highest skill to use in communication.
Listening also plays an important role in language teaching. It provides the aural input that serves
the basis of language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. The
student with good listening skills will be able to participate more effectively in communicative
situations, because they are able to understand the message being conveyed. Listening which has
been called as the "neglected" or ignored language art for more than 50 years for it is rarely taught in
kindergarten until eighth–grade, as a result it is considered as the most difficult skill to be acquired.
Listening has an important role in communication, even though it is also an activity that is hard to
teach to the students. As Perez, (2000:1811) in Mayor, (2009:1) states that listening is a complex–

Every English language student is expected to master the four language skills: reading, writing,
listening and speaking. Among these, listening is a greatly integrative skill and it plays a vital role in
the process of language learning, promoting the rise of other language skills since it is the first skill
students are exposed to. It is a receptive skill which involves taking in information through the ears,
processing and understanding the message and its importance and giving feedback. Actually,
listening is the most common communicative activity in daily life, since people listen twice as much
as they speak, four times more than they read, and five times more than they write (Morley,
1991:82). In spite of its importance, teachers appear to avoid teaching the listening skill to their
students and focus only on speaking, writing and reading skills. Listening is commonly viewed as
the most challenging skill both to learn and teach, because of its temporal nature, the complexity of
the listening processes and the special features of spoken language (Ur, 1984). What is more, the

information and act upon it. In the EFL classroom, it is widely assumed that listening leads to

English is an international language that students need to learn. There are four language skills
students need to master, one of which is listening skill. Listening skill is one of the four language
skills which plays important roles in language acquisition. It plays an important role in a way that it
gives inputs and presents the model of a language (Nation & Newton, 2009). Through listening,
students are unconsciously trained to differ sounds, accents, stresses, and intonations. Additionally,
listening also plays a crucial part in communication. According to Mendelsohn (1994, as cited in
Hamouda, 2013), language users use 40–50% of the time in listening; 25–30% in speaking; 11–16%
in reading; and in writing is about 9%. Consequently, listening is one of the English language skills
students need to master due to its importance in language communication and acquisition. For that
matter, it is an obligation for teachers to help students develop listening skill.

Introduction
Communication is the most important tool to being a good health provider. This assignment
analyses an interview between a student from Perth Institute of Business and Technology, who acts
as a health care professional and another student who takes up the role of a patient. The areas of
communication focused in this analysis are interviewing skills, listening skills and questioning
skills. There are examples provided for each aspect followed by suggestions and recommendations
for future practices. However, the information in this assignment is fictitious.

of the concerns, a closing statement, and reassurance of the support are the few components of
closing and termination. Throughout the interview a range of open, closed, and reflective questions
are used (Yeung, 2008, p.19–23). Whereas the use of leading, multiple, hypothetical, and double
barrelled questions should be minimised (Yeung, 2008, p.42–58).
An interview was conducted between a nurse and a job applicant on 13th April 2011, to explore the
applicant's past medical history and activities of daily living. The nurse commenced by sharing his
role and purpose of the meeting, but few aspects were not touched like confidentiality and
information handling. Immediately after explain her role, the nurse started exploring. The nurse said,
"......then I will ask you some personal questions about you and your health ........ So let's start with
your name?" (7:70 mins)
The basic structure of the interviewing was used throughout, except in the initiations phase. Rather
than being informative, initiation was very prompt and short. Nurse hadn't asked for the applicant's
comfort, a confidentiality statement was not delivered in this phase, though nurse talked about it
after the personal information section was already passed. Also, nurse hadn't said anything regarding
the information like whom she will be submitting the information and what will be the outcome?

This writer considers herself an average listener, though she has been complimented on her listening
skills (most recently by a psychologist colleague who earns a living in part due to her own listening
skills, who needed a sounding board in making a difficult career decision). An honest self–rating
using the questions in Figure 11–5 would not be a "good" rating. As a remote worker who conducts
at least 80% of her work interface via email, phone, instant messaging, texting and conference calls,
this writer agrees with Schloss (2012) when he proclaims that distraction is the biggest threat to
active listening. It is not uncommon on a typical work day to be forehead deep in a spreadsheet
analysis in order to meet an impending deadline while also on a conference call and with three or
four instant messaging conversations going on at the same time (and the cell phone ringing or
pinging in the background as well). Even one who has superior listening skills and who is in a
closed office with no one around can be challenged with interruptions created by technology where
multiple individuals are all knocking on the virtual door at the same time. Even as one attempts to
ignore the noise and pop–ups (they can't be completely turned off all the time because the boss
might need something), it is still an interference in focusing on what is most important at that
moment, and if the conference call conversation seems irrelevant at times it just makes it more

This essay was researched and written by a first trimester diploma student and it will discuss the
importance of listening skills in health professional and the barriers that exist. As health care
professionals, whichever field of healthcare one belongs, one is required to have effective listening
skills. These skills are important when interacting with co–workers, residents and the management.
This essay aims at looking at the importance of listening skills to a health professional and the
patients. Listening skills are also important in becoming a creative problem solver. It will look at the
benefits of listening that exist for both the patient and the health professional.

This helps the healthcare professionals understand the effect of their decisions on the experience of
the patients and can offer assurance that the experience of patients is being determined and
improved. At the frontline it is possible for the healthcare professionals to ensure that that they

Sigma Theta Tau International. 2010).
Barriers to effective listening.
There are many that may get in the way of listening of healthcare professionals, and one should be
aware of such barriers. Trying to listen to more than one source of information at a time is one thing
that can delay communication. For example, attempting to listen to a patient while the radio and the
television are on or being distracted by some noise in the immediate environment. Noise lowers the
concentration of the listener hindering effective listening.
When healthcare professionals pay attention to the appearance of the patient or how they feel about
the patient and not what the patient is saying may hinder effective listening. Perhaps the healthcare
professional may not like the patient and he may mentally argue with the patient and be fast to
criticize in his head or verbally (Barach,

102. Why Is Listening Is A Lost Skill
Listening – A lost skill
Sudheesh Singanamalla, 127257, CSE, III/IV Section B
Listening is one of the key skills that a person should be possessing. It's a beautiful combination of
hearing what the other person has to say while at the same time being able to involve oneself into
their thought. Listening is considered as a language skill but moreover overlaps itself into the space
of a soft skill.
The most important skills that any person should possess are reading, writing, speaking and listening
but I personally believe the most importance has to be given to listening. In this digital age, through
all this noise many people take refuge in their headphones rather than listening to the sound out
there, the unique frequency bands and the beautiful amalgamation of how disturbance carries so
much information that we can't just comprehend. When we hear closely, we can clearly distinguish
the sounds, a street hawker selling his fruits ad vegetables, the noisy traffic, the beautiful
synchronous music that the tea vendors made by rattling the glasses with the spoon, the birds

thinking, learning, recalling and judging the content that he/she has listened to. I believe that schools

also shows that you are interested and paying attention to what the speaker is saying. You also give
the listener feedback on what they have heard from the presenter by paraphrasing or even restating
in their own words. You also give back verbal communication such as writing notes that would

There are certain ways to become a great listener and be cautious of your barriers at the same time.
You can have prejudice towards the speaker, the inability to understand what the speaker is telling
you, you're unable to hear because of the loud noises or the background areas, and the lack of
attention you show to your speaker. Try the best you can to overcome those types of barriers in
active listening. (McKay, 2014) If you were to have someone talking to you in person or even over
the phone, and you can't understand them cause of their accent or just because of the background
noises. There will be times when you are talking to someone, but then you see someone you know
and you want to ease drop in their conversation. It can even include a television or even a radio, if
your favorite show is on or your favorite song. You want to listen what is going on in the television
screen or on the radio than a human being that is standing right in front of you. Also talking to
someone on the phone and at the same time talking with another person in front of you is a barrier of
distraction that can make the person that is speaking to you in person feel very uncomfortable. There
will be certain times where people drag you into conversations that you do not want to be a part of.

Listening is one of the important skills among three other English skills; reading, writing and
speaking. Listening play significant role in language development. Listening is the ability to hear
and understand what other people say. It is also the basic skill that we have in learning language
because we listen before we speak. Just take the example of the babies. Before they can talk with
their parents, they only give signs when they want to communicate with them by crying. They only
listen to the speech or sounds that close to them. By the time, they gain all of knowledge and
information from the people near them. Then, they start to imitate and try to speak. Of course, this
takes time, the babies cannot talk directly when they listen to the language. So, this is the same as
the learners who try to learn English as a second language. Especially in listening ability. Listening
is a receptive skill because the learners do not need to produce the language. They only receive and

Listening
You have to pay attention to the contents of conversation to have a meaningful conversation; simply
hearing is different from listening courteously. Hearing is a passive; listening has a proactive
meaning; listening can be defined as the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages in the
communication process that requires sustained effort and full attention to the other party.
(SkillsYouNeed, 2016)[1] The basis of communication is listening in the business; listening is
important to maintain relationships among employees and customers to develop trust between each
other. For example, if you do not listen to employees, you cannot develop trust due to
misunderstanding. It is important to be an attentive listener so that employee knows you are
sincerely interested in what they have to say. (Tingum, 2016)[2]. In order to develop listening skill,

Listening skills are a number of skills that enhance one's ability to receive and interpret messages
effectively whilst communicating. There are many hints that one can use in order to improve their
listening skills in lectures. The skills include; preparing beforehand, sitting where there are no
distractions, focusing on the message–not how it is being delivered, and making eye contact, taking
notes, and asking questions.
In this essay, the listening skills hints will be explored. It will also be discussed how these hints have
affected my listening skills in lectures.
The first skill that will be explored is asking questions in lectures. Asking questions in lectures helps
you to actively engage in the entire lecture. For example; I applied this listening skills hint in a
Biology lecture. I asked a question about ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
But I focused on the message that she was delivering and not how it was delivered. I actually
realised that I like histology after all because it is quite interesting. Had I not applied this hint, I
would've have not even studied for histology and that would've brought down my mark in the test.
The last listening hint that I applied was preparing for a lecture, the day before. When you prepare
for a lecture, during the lecture you know exactly what is going on and you absorb any extra
information very fast. All you do is ask questions about any work that you didn't make sense to you
before. I applied this hint during a molecular biology lecture. During the lecture therefore it felt like
revision. I left the lecture hall and I still remembered the work...which doesn't happen very often.
Thus it can be concluded that without listening skills in lectures, messages can be easily missed or
misunderstood therefor listening skills have to be developed. With the aid of listening skills, it is

Communication is an essential part of our daily lives. We communicate on a daily basis for a
number of reasons however many people are unaware of the vast complexity of the communication
process (Haynes, Moran & Pindzola, 2005). Listening and speaking skills are essential in the
educational sector. Students need to listen to their educators, as well as peers in order to create
meaning of texts. In this way they can give intelligent answers and demonstrate critical thought.
Speaking is also essential because students need to be able to associate with others and develop
effective strategies for communication. There are certain issues that educators face when it comes to
listening and speaking skills. In this essay I would critically discuss factors such as; Hearing
impairment, Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), Boredom, Emotional barriers, Language,
stuttering and phonological ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
According to Haynes, Moran and Pindzola (2005), students with phonological disorders do not have
the ability to master the rules used to manage sounds. A child with a phonological disorder would
interpret the following sentence: 'My Kitty cat likes climbing trees, and my dog does too,' as ' My
Kikky cak likes climbing trees, and my gog does too'. From the above example, it can be deciphered
that the t in trees and too was correctly pronounced however the t in kitty or cat was incorrectly
pronounced. The d was correctly pronounced in does however it was incorrectly pronounced in dog.
It is clearly evident from the above that a phonological disorder involves more than just the correct
production of the sound. There seems to be a rule formulated with the correct production of the t and
d in some words but not in others. A significant amount of parents may find the above speech cute

Listening skills are crucial for developing effective communication skills. It greatly influences the
way one speaks. This means we tend to speak what we listen. This is also true of our mother tongue.
All of us, as children, learnt our mother tongue the same way. A child learns to speak its mother
tongue by listening to its mother's language; observes gestures and formulates vocabulary in a social
context from those who live around it.Littlewood (1984) states that: "The child imitates the sounds
and patterns which he hears around him." As it is a natural phenomenon or approach to Language
learning, there is a strong relationship between listening (a receptive skill) and speaking (a
productive skill). It is this co–relation which produces verbal expression. Listening is one of the four
basic skills through which a language is taught. It is one of the two skills that we use when
communicating orally. According to Rost (1991).However, he feels that in recent times listening is

and then engaging in discussions with peers on various topics. Such task–oriented activities provide
learners with a reason to speak. While facilitating intake, interactive listening activities also provide
opportunities to process the information in multidimensional ways. This process includes mental
repetition of what is heard, connecting what is heard to life experiences and knowledge of the world

What I've Learned
What stood out to me when I read The Art of Listening and Communication & Listen Skills is that I
have to take other people's feelings into consideration. Being able to understand others is essential to
my learning. The reason for mentioning this I need to be open to what people have to say because I
don't know where they are coming from. In the Art of Listening, it stated that a person should us I
when are taking charge, we do so to form unity. The only "you" should ever be used to address
someone in a group who is not contributing. Effective Listening skills states that people react to "55
percent facial expression, 38 percent tone of voice and 7 percent words." I will take this into
consideration when applying these skills and by keeping a low voice a straight face. These listening
skills can be used in a classroom when speaking to a professor or student by keeping full eye contact
with an attentive facial expression. This indicates you are listening to what they are saying and are
serious about learning. Furthermore, I need to writing down everything the professor says because it
can be essential for the exam. If I feel uncomfortable because of something the professor said I
should address it after class in a respectful manner. Some of many benefits I can learn from
