Listen Better, Learn Faster: Practical Listening Skills for English Learners
Turn your ears into your most powerful tool for English fluency. Many English learners focus entirely on speaking, but research shows we spend up to 50% of our communication time listening. If you can’t listen effectively, you can’t learn patterns, grammar, or vocabulary naturally. In this class, part of my 4-part core skills series, I break down the science and art of listening in English. You will learn the difference between passive hearing and active listening. I also cover the three specific types of listening – Task, Relational, and Critical – and how to switch between them to improve your relationships and comprehension. Finally, I explain the “Juggling Theory” of conversation to help you manage information flow like a pro.
