Book: Listening Process, Functions, and Competency by Debra Worthington & Margaret Fitch-Hauser
This assignment is designed to give you hands on experience with different listening techniques. You will choose ONE of the observations/experiments listed below to perform and write about. You will need to be familiar with the listening concepts from the text and from the course content we have covered. You will turn in a one-page synopsis/response to your experiment/observation uploaded to canvas
Observations/Experiments
1.Observe the “cocktail” listening effect at a gathering of two or more
people. The cocktail listening effect is when someone is talking to one person but trying to listen to something else (Example: watching television and talking to someone). What do you see happening? For this exercise, please be an observer…don’t be one of the people involved…you won’t be able to properly observe if you are involved.
2.Ask only questions for a full ten minutes and avoid being drawn into the conversation. Record the reactions of the other person. Did they enjoy the experience? Did you have difficulty not being drawn in to the conversation?
3.Give only positive attending behaviors (nodding, smiling etc.) and positive verbalfeedback: (“Yes, I understand” ,“I agree” etc.) to someone for five minutes. Observe their behavior. Did they talk more, less? Did the conversation continue, stop? What was their reaction?
4.Select a good friend and use your active listening skills. Resist giving advice. Didyou succeed in using all of the skills? Was the transaction useful to the friend? Was it difficult for you to not give advice?

Listening Research Article Review
In order to ensure proper article/research study selection for your Listening Research assignment (annotated bibliography) this week you need to identify your 10 research studies for your annotated bibliography. You will need to submit a list of your articles/studies in APA or MLA format (just like you are doing an bibliography for a paper). Along with the bibliographic reference please include the link of where you found the article if it was located online or through the EMU Library Databases. Please complete this in a Microsoft Word Document and submit it to the drop box.
Possible Topic Ideas: These are just a few areas you could focus on. Feel free to choose one of these or pick your own. Be creative!
• Listening and Sales
• Listening and the Classroom
• Therapeutic Listening
• Listening and Business
• Teaching Children to Listen
• Listening and Marketing
• Courtroom Listening
• Discriminative Listening
*Please note. I will be “spot checking” everyone’s articles;however if I am unable to locate the source (meaning that it is not available online or easily accessed at the EMU library) I will not be able to evaluate the content. If you have questions about articles that fall into this category, please set up a time to meet with me to evaluate those sources. Also, I will be checking for academic nature of the articles, not content and relation to your subject. Be sure that all articles fall under the theme you have chosen.
Familiarize yourself with the overall research project assignment details below to understand what’s needed above.
Listening Research Assignment: For this assignment, you will be doing a survey of the research available in the field of Listening. The first step will be to choose a topic that relates to listening. You will then need to Find, Read, and Analyze 10 studies, articles, books, textbooks (excluding our own) and put together an annotated bibliography. Once the annotated bibliography is complete, you will then write a short (2 Pages Maximum) conclusion paper about what you learned. As always, I am available for help during all aspects of your project.
What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations from Journal articles, books and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief paragraph that summarizes the article. The purpose of this type of assignment is to give you a survey of the research that is available in the Listening field.
Assignment Details
• 10 scholarly sources on your topic area
o Five of the sources must be journal articles where a study has been executed and a conclusion drawn.
o Of the five studies, you must have a fair representation of Quantitative and Qualitative studies.
o The other five sources may be from books or articles found in journals.
o Pure internet resources (resources that are strictly websites and not in print) will not be accepted as scholarly sources.
• Each annotation (short paragraph) must be a summary of the article
o Abstracts will not be accepted as complete articles
• Must follow either MLA or APA documentation styles
Short Conclusion Paper
• Roughly 2 Pages double spaced, 12 Pt. font; well written, grammatically correct.
• What did you learn about your topic from these articles?
• Has your perspective changed from what you learned?
• How does this research relate to your life?

Instructions:
What and who shapes our identities? How does communication functio

Instructions:
What and who shapes our identities? How does communication function to create our self-concepts and the way we act in our relationships? Write a 3-4 page paper explaining the three communication concepts and/or theories that you believe most influence our identities.
Three concepts I want to talk about is / what my teacher told me I can do is:
Emotional Intelligence
Perception
The Self
This paper will provide you the opportunity to examine interpersonal communication topics in more depth. You can research attachment styles, cultural differences, communication between siblings, friendships, etc. You will be provided with a list of possible topics for this assignment. In general, you should go beyond the information presented in the text and include additional information about the topic. You should use a minimum of 2 academic sources to support your arguments.
I can add like a little personal about how I deal with emotional intelligence of myself and others here is a summary:Something about me: I Know people say I am very emotional I nearly cry about everything. most importantly, i cry about my feelings because i feel like when I am try to get my point across they either think i am trying to argue or they dont understand me. When Speaking on your Feelings shouldnt lead to an argument. But I also have to understand their side as well. Like for me, I cannot communicate On the phone well, have to text to certain people like 1-2 paragraphs or in their face.
(This is just a little something from my perspective) if you can add similarly like that will be great and touch up this part!!!!!!!
Internet sources such as web pages, unless used to access academic libraries, journals and research, are not acceptable sources. (I have attached a article we read in class as a reference because my teacher said I could) so please use that as well. I have also insert class notes we went over about the topics i am doing it over.
Although you are welcome to use the readings for this class for your paper, they do not count as outside sources.Your paper should be typed, well written, and proofread. This paper needed to be written in APA format, 12-point Times New Roman Font, and double-spaced.

You do not have to produce “arts and crafts” level headers or affirmation cards. You may use notebook paper for headers and cards. The writing on the header and cards should be big enough to read!
Creating your Affirmation Station: Begin your affirmation station by creating the “I am” header.
Next, create your six affirmation cards [examples: “Worthy,” “Heard,” “Loved”]
Once you have chosen the phrases you want to use, simply tape the “I am” header to the top of the mirror and the 6 phrases along the sides of the mirror. Focus on the header and the phrases.
Then EVERY DAY during this class, look at and read OUT LOUD all of the wonderful things that ARE true about you before you “come” to class!
