Listening responsively stands for a communication activity which involves comprehension, evaluation and retaintion of what the speaker transmits. This activity enhances problem-solving since the listener tries to understand the speaker's message/s by means of confirmation responses, and feedback. The purpose is to listen with the intention of understanding, instead of replying. By doing so, the listener will be better able to obtain information and relate this information to his/her personal experience, to identify problems and ask question for clarification, to improve communication accuracy, to solve problems, and to motivate the speaker by allowing him/her to express his/her own feelings without judgement .
