| book description |

This fully updated seventh edition takes an experiential approach to listening instruction, providing extensive applied examples and cases within the context of the HURIER listening model. This textbook encourages students to view listening as a process involving six interrelated components which are developed along the parallel dimensions of theory and skill building. This new edition includes additional and updated cases, exercises, and questions for discussion to address studentsâ€™ world of evolving technology, expanding social boundaries, and global communication challenges. A new challenge, integrative listening, addresses studentsâ€™ social responsibility as effective listeners and suggests that they apply their skills to create strong listening environments characterized by respectful and inclusive dialogue. Students move from self-reflection and self-knowledge through skill development and personal applications to creating listening environments that facilitate productive conversation and collaboration. Cases in â€œthe bigger pictureâ€ address issues such as the opioid crisis, fake news, artificial intelligence, and teenagersâ€™ mental health. Listening serves as a core textbook for courses in listening, communication studies, communication skills, interpersonal communication, management, human resources, and education.
