Are You Really Listening? Answer Key

Students assess short dialogues to decide whether each response demonstrates good listening. They determine if the reply shows empathy, focus, and appropriate feedback, marking “Yes” or “No” and explaining their reasoning. This activity helps learners recognize respectful conversational behaviors and understand how careless responses can dismiss others’ feelings. It strengthens social awareness, emotional intelligence, and communication reflection skills essential for positive peer relationships.
