Explicitly Teaching Listening in the ELA Curriculum: Why and How
Katie Alford
English Journal, v109 n6 p22-29 2020
Listening is a skill to be explicitly taught, practiced, and assessed. It is a political act that, if done well, can foster a sense of agency in students. When they know how to listen well, they can engage more richly in public debate, and it builds a conscious awareness of all they hear and see in our world. Focusing on three essential skill sets, the author developed a range of instructional activities to promote good listening.
