Characteristics of an active listeners and casual listeners. A guide for Students.
Introduction.
Listening is an important skill for students to develop. It will help them in their future careers, as well as making friends and communicating with people from different cultures.
The best way to learn how to listen is by practicing it yourself! There are two types of listeners: active listeners and casual listeners.
Active listening is an activity of curiosity about the speaker, and his or her thoughts, moods and feelings.
Active listening is an activity of curiosity about the speaker, and his or her thoughts, moods and feelings. It is not the same as passive listening.
Active listening has three components: hearing what is being said; participating in a conversation by asking questions; and showing respect for what you hear by responding appropriately to what was said.
Active listening is a careful study of the speaker's non-verbal body language, such as facial expressions and hand gestures.

Listen for the speaker's tone of voice. Does it sound angry or happy? Is there any tension in the way she talks?
Watch for changes in your own body language and facial expression. For example, if you are scared about what will happen next in class, your face might become more tense or less relaxed than usual; this can make it harder for others to understand how you feel!
Active listening consists in hearing what is said before commenting on it. It consists in letting the speaker complete his thought, before interrupting him with questions or comments.
Active listening is a skill and it’s important to practice it. It involves letting the speaker complete his thought before interrupting him with questions or comments. Active listeners show that they are interested in what the speaker has to say, which builds trust between them both.
Active listening requires concentration on what is being communicated, to the exclusion of other distractions.
Active listening requires concentration on what is being communicated, to the exclusion of other distractions. The listener must be able to take in all of the information that the speaker is trying to communicate and then respond appropriately.
There are several ways for you as an active listener to demonstrate your attention and focus:
When you are listening, do not do anything else but listen! This includes not checking emails or texts while someone is talking; instead, put your phone down and give them your full attention.
Be sure that you understand what they say by repeating back what they said verbatim so there can be no doubt about whether or not they understood correctly.
If necessary ask questions related directly back towards what was just said (e.g., "What did I hear?")
When listening actively, one investigates everything there is to know about what has been communicated.
This means asking questions when necessary, to ensure that one has understood everything correctly.

I find it helpful to use a technique called 'the five whys'. This involves asking yourself why something happened and then exploring each of those reasons further until you have reached the root cause of your problem or issue.
For example:
I don't understand what was said in #2 because I didn't hear anything at all!
Well... if we assume that speaker A wrote down an answer but speaker B read out loud what she wrote, then we could say that both speakers spoke at once (e.g., two people talking simultaneously).
But since both speakers were speaking on different topics (and therefore with different accents), this would not be possible unless they were working together as a team or had planned ahead of time so they could speak together seamlessly during their presentation/lecture etc..
So our question now becomes "Why did no one notice?"
Active listeners are people who never judge others while they speak. They may have their own opinions on a given subject, but they keep them silent while they listen to others speak.
Active listening is a skill that can be learnt and improved with practice, but it's important to remember that active listening doesn't mean you have to agree with your listener.
Instead, you should try and understand what they're saying and why they might be saying it in the first place.

Active listeners will often ask questions or make comments during conversations as part of their attempts at active listening - this shows interest in what the other person has said so far!
Active Listening Skills.
If a speaker pauses to reflect on what he is saying next, the active listener fills in this pause with relevant questions or comments on what has just been said by the speaker.

Active listening is about being curious about the speaker's thoughts, moods and feelings. Active listening can also be defined as an accurate interpretation of what you hear from your listeners' body language.
When listening actively, one does not formulate a reply in his mind during the course of a conversation; he waits for the speaker to finish speaking before doing so aloud.
This ensures that nothing has been misunderstood or misinterpreted.
Active listening is a skill that can be learned. Hearing the words of another person, one waits for their turn to speak before speaking himself.
This ensures that nothing has been misunderstood or misinterpreted.
Listening actively helps you understand more about whatever subject you are discussing and also teaches you how to listen effectively in other situations where it may be difficult for someone else to express themselves due to lack of time or ability (for example, if there is a lot going on around them).
In addition, active listeners tend to be more educated than casual listeners as they have been exposed more often during childhood years with parents who took an interest in their education levels thus making sure these children would grow up into responsible adults capable enough in society today without forgetting what brought them here originally: which was love!
Conclusion.
Active listening is not just another form of communication. It requires you to pay attention to what others are saying, and not just listen passively.
Active listeners learn how to evaluate the speaker's reactions in order to gain deeper insight into his thoughts and feelings..
