Kinds of Listening: Prepared By: Sir "JAS"

There are several kinds of listening: 1) Voluntary listeners listen by choice and always pay attention, while involuntary listeners seldom become a good audience. 2) Purposeful listeners set a goal to listen, but may lose focus, while casual listeners give careless attention and are close to not listening at all. 3) Disciplined listeners find pleasure in listening and do so willingly, whereas motivated listeners only listen for a reward.
