Investigating Listening Comprehension Skills

By Shamaila Amir

To receive the messages effectively, listening is the key skill. Principally it is the combination of hearing and psychological involvement with the person talking. Listening requires various things simultaneously which include the listener's desire to understand what the other person is saying, the listener's attitude of respect and acceptance for the speaker, and enough broadmindedness and willingness to try to understand see things from the speaker's point of view. Apart from all that, listening also requires concentration and energy, both of a high level, and demands that the listener sets aside personal thoughts and agendas empathizing with the speaker and seeing the world from his eyes. Listening is a language modality. It is one of the four skills of a language i.e. listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It involves the active involvement of an individual. Listening involves a sender, a message, and a receiver. It is the psychological process of receiving, attending to constructing meaning from, and responding to spoken and/or nonverbal messages.
