Respond: Week 2, Topic 2.1 - Listening Models and the Listening Process After you have read the Week 2 course resources, paying particular attention to the "Definitions of Listening" and "Listening Models" subsections, read the first three pages at the following link: "Listening, Understanding, and Misunderstanding." which contains a chapter by Andrew Wolvin. Then answer the questions below. Please be descriptive in your answers and number your responses but do not include the questions. 1. Of the four listening models addressed in this week's readings, which model (Lunsteen, SIER, HURIER, or Wolvin and Coakley's) do you feel most accurately reflects the listening process and why? Be sure to include the model's strengths and weaknesses in your explanation. 2. Provide a sound description of each of the five elements in Wolvin's explanation of the listening process. Please include all five elements. Note how the more current explanation offered in the "Listening, Understanding, and Misunderstanding" article differs from the Wolvin-Coakley model that you read about in our course content. 3. Finally, in a separate detailed paragraph, analyze your listening skills according to the one component that you feel is most difficult for you (receiving, attending, perceiving, interpreting, and responding).
