A Way to Remember Good Listening Skills

S Sit up (good posture keeps you alert)
L Lean forward (this shows interest to your speaker)
A Ask questions (do this by raising your hand, putting the questions in your notes, and to yourself)
N Nod your head (or else shake your head, or show your understanding or confusion in some other way)
T Track your speaker (keep your eye on the speaker to take in important non-verbal clues and to stay alert and interested)

Remember: Be an active listener and get all you can from the speaker!
