How To Improve Your LISTENING SKILLS | LBCC Study Skills

I really enjoyed this video. I'm 78, have a masters in reading and ESL, and learned---that practicing the dictation exercise would help a person improve his/her ability to recall. One is never too old to learn. Thanks!

Im not native english speaker. but this guy giving the lecture so well, that make me feel like listening mother language 👍

Am I the only one who just found it now? He's a great teacher; I listened to him from the start till the last minute.

Problems
1_ Pseudo Listening
2_ Selective Listening
3_ Critical Listening
Solutions
1_ Awareness
2_ Physically and mentally There
3_ Set a Goal !
4_ Sit at center and Front.
5_ Practice Dictation (writing after sentences are completely spoken)
6_ Pretend to be Fascinating (interested in What others are saying)

two years ago, I listened to him and understand nothing because he spoke to fast and my English is so terrible. And at the moment, I recognized his voice is so so clear, strong and beautiful. The lessons are really useful and used simple words. Really thank him and this channel. Hope the channel will develope more.

First step is go up and listen attentively stop scrolling for comments NOW!!

This class should be taught at every school ! I didn’t realized listening is so critical until I went to toastmaster. I’ve missed the whole half of my life ! My son and I just watched this video. It’s so helpful !!

I took this professors class at LBCC 3 years ago before I transferred to CSUDH and I have to say they are one of the best professors ever and taught me how to change the way I approach learning and I still use the skills he taught me to this day.

He makes things in a way easy to understand.That literally makes him a great teacher.

What an interesting lecture! I like the way he can actually hold the class peacefully tight and focused. That’s the precise definition of the very lecture he teaches.

I am a teacher, but learning is endless. I commend him in the way he taught us.

so helpful and kind! i haven’t been to a lecture since march. this was comforting to watch, feels like i was sitting in your class!!

This is a great teacher! He explains things so well! He knows how to break things down!

This guy was awesome, just the sort of listening-skills lesson I needed. I currently rely on reading textbooks ahead of time in order to listen to my professors. Without doing so, I am completely lost. I'm going to try listening to some KRplus videos and writing down what was said, thank you much for the tips!

As a current student at Barstow Community College, I am taking a Comm1 class, Elements of Public Speaking, and I am learning a lot. This was a great addition and gave me new insights to not only become a better speaker, but it also gave me the tools, I feel everyone needs, to become a better listener as well, not only for course work, but in my personal life as well. Thank you so much. I look forward to learning more and becoming a better communicator as well.

From my experience of learning English as a foreign learner, I highly recommend exposing yourself to the language through movies and any other audio-visual content, this helped me get used to the pattern of that language and gave me a huge advantage among other learners who were learning English in a straight forward and boring method.

beautiful videos, I will recommend to all my students..
keep up the good work.

Thank you for posting! I watched the entire video for the whole 49 minutes and I was interested the whole time. Trust me I am not the kind of person to do that. Very useful good job.

One of the sensational videos that I need it urgently. Great sense of humour, wonderful voice, excellent body language and most of all very educational and informative presentation. I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for sharing! 😊 🙏🏻

I always come back to watch this teacher’s videos for refreshing my skills of listening, reading and notes taking. Thank you very much for these good videos.👍

I was searching for english listening test and I found this lecture instead. The begining was preety interesting so I have watched whole one and understood preety much everything. Very good teacher!

Its a pleasure to listen to that kind of teacher! I would love be a student in his class!

This video is first of its kind to give practice on listening skills which I were very average at. Visual thinking came to rescue for faster decoding of the words. AWESOME VIDEO SIR. Very Humours as well. Another useful tip was 'PRETEND TO BE FASCINATED' which I can relate to my college days. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. Though I am a professional but still find the channel so useful. The teacher is really awesome!

I never had those problems as a student. So it is really enlightening and amusing to listen to this very well-organized and still seemingly spontaneous lecture.

Feeling very grateful to watch this, I wish every teacher should be like him..

I love your sense of humor. I wish there's more teachers like you, you are good at what you do. You have to love teaching to be like you

Watching this video is one of the greatest thing that happen in my life today. I really love the way he explained all the lesson.

This teacher is amazing at what is doing.
It must be fun being around him. I love it!

Good explanation, I'll watch other classes of you. Thanks.

Your style of teaching is super appealing! The lecture is very useful and applicable. Thank professor very much!

In the effort to improve my listening skill for PTE test, I incidentally found this lecture. It was amazing and fascinating. It was worth 48 minutes of watching every single word he said. According to this video (workshop) I know how to enhance my listening skill now. Thank you, teacher aka speaker. Chris from Vietnam.

Love love love it!! Thank you! I even had the feeling like I was sitting in the class at the front row and nodding with excitement. Great knowledge and it’s free, too!

very helpful I wish that teacher is is mine. He is so funny, yet too professional.

He's just amazing ...and it's easy to understand everything he says ... l'm so glad to find out him like an example teacher.

I was overwhelmed to receive the professor's professional advice on how to get back to concentration after distracting or going on a mental vacation. Regarding the recommendation, where to sit for those kinds of students who are easily get disconnected by noticing others was one of the most effective recommendations I have ever received. Thanks, sir.

This teacher is really awesome,he have lots of knowledge and sense of humor.

What he says makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing.

Love this teacher. Brilliant!!

Put there Bro.. It is great to know that there are still real schoolmasters educating their students with concise reasons and solutions for the ill. As I took it upon myself some odd score years back when I first noticed the info on the Cornell Note taking method. Wow that was an eye opening experience. Thanks again there colleage. I am really happy to know that I can refer this material to as many number ofs students with doubts nowadays and do encourage them to watch these. Sometimes some of the even most brightess of students have doubts at times on how to Listen effectively during exams but are happier and feel confident after having watched them. you never stop learning....Great examples and solutions exposed!!! Great educational uplifters!!!!!
Thanks LBCC.

An explicit lesson where all examples used are tailored around students' life in the classroom, to foster a better understanding of the lesson's content. so so unique.

I'm glad I came across this. It actually cleared up somethings.Thanks a lot and looking forward to more classes. Keep inspiring!

I watched the whole series of lecture by this teacher. I wish somebody taught me all of these many years ago. That could have saved me a lot of time, and made me smarter in learning.

This is the first long video in English that I watch all in one time. But I do not "pretend to be fascinated if I have to". I will see it more times to practice my listening skills. Thank you so much!

You are amazing... really amazing. If every teacher is like you than we are going to have every student as genius.

very interesting useful and important lecture, usually I fall asleep when a watch a long video but during your lecture I paid 100percent attention and understood easily every your word, thank you teacher for a wonderful lesson

Thank you. First time in my whole life I've ever heard someone for that long continuously with full awareness. I enjoyed every word and expression of the teacher . These tips are going to help me a lot in my college classes . Thank you very much once again.

He explains everything not only by his words but also by his manners that makes him a best teacher . Hope , His topic is clearly understood by everyone only for his way of explains .

This is called perfect teaching.All the information are valuable. I appreciate you a lot . Thank you for sharing

a great teacher!)

Fabulous instructor! Held my attention the whole way through, which is very unusual. I think his exercises are spot on. I need to do more of them, great way to exercise my brain! Thank you so much for this class!

He has such a good sense of humor !
It was a pleasure to listen to him

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this Guy.....I love him. Respect to you sir..Bless u

Amazing Sir. Thank you very much for such an effective clues to stay focused. Thank you!

A great teacher! It was so interesting and fun, I felt I wouldn't need any of the skills learned to listen to this lecture! It was informative, useful, truly fascinating and most eloquently presented! I greatly enjoyed it and benefited from it! Thanks so much, Rivka Kahana, Israel.

I can't believe this video is almost 9 years old. The professor nailed it|! and I wonder if he has a personal channel here on KRplus...I'd love to watch more classes of him. ^^

They are really interesting and useful lectures

Thank you so much,Sir. I am your new student here.Your speaking is very clearly for me. I mean your voice is clearly to understand for students who are learning English.

this video has become one of my favorites , i love how fast he speaks but at the same time is understandable what he's saying.... everything is so well explained !

As a new student, I am really happy to discover this amazing and dedicated teacher who supports me a lot to improve my academic performance and learning skills. All of my respect for his pedagogical skills!🌹

I work interpreter and translator in Thailand, all your tutorials are brillianttly bright brian, I always keep following your class. please record and upload more..!! So so quality!!
Mr. Ton from Thailand. :)

Wow! Excellent lecture. Great examples. I been struggling on listening skills since childhood. I believe effective listening make a big difference in your life. These days employer don't train one properly and its a fast pace learning when get new job. You really have to relie on good listening skills to understand the important aspects of the job. It requires detail analysis. If you have poor listening skills then its really difficult to catch up on your duties. May create a bad impression from the start. As days pass by ;employer's expectations increases... poor listening may cost your job...

I really like this teacher. He 's speaking is clear and easy to follow.

What an amazing lecture!! This is the best lecture best teaching style a have ever had. In my whole life I was longing for this type of teacher. I wish I could have in his class!! Wish his good health!

Talent and funny teacher :) Thanks a lot for your lessons :) (y)

It is a very good lesson. Not just about English listening skill. Very useful.

This is a great teacher. My mother language is spanish and he speaks fast but clear that I can easily follow his class with no problem.

He discussed and analysed one of the biggest problem of modern humans🙏♥️

Congratulations!! You´re a good teacher and I loved the way you explain all the topics!!

Well done! He is amazing teacher. I wish I could attend his classes.

This is some very good and useful information, thank you. Not often you hear practical information being given like this. I have been a teacher for many years. One thing I had to learn early on was not to get offended if it seemed like someone was not listening. This speaker mentions a few times about not listening as showing disrespect. If you are putting information out there, some people will listen and some won't. Don't take it personally if they don't, it just causes you stress, and no one is really obligated to listen. If you make a bug deal about it, it just tends to turn people off. My opinion.

This man is so good at teaching. I was just rambling in and in 5 mins I'm totally caught by his speech

Great teacher! Amazing lesson! Nice, nice and professional indeed

thank you for this amazing lecture!

This is my goal this year to improve my skills listening God bless you teacher for this master class

WOW! You are an awesome professor. Who could be ever teaching like you ?

An exemplary professor. I am 66 and I would love to study under him!

I listened whole heartedly for the first tme in my life.

Thank you so much for this lesson. It helps me a lot to focus on listening. Much appreciate it and I look forward to seeing more interesting lessons.

“On vacation “ was so funny but very well said and is totally true.

Awesome wow, really really good teacher. Thumps all the way up. Finally i did understand.

Hi, this is the best lecture I’ve ever heard and seen in my life in this field - yes, I really appreciate your kind effort Sir. Very glad to have such great full experience in which you shared with us.

What a great teacher and what a class! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful knowledge.

Great Teacher indeed. I wish I knew you before but it's never late because learning is a life long process.

One of the best presentation I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
It's an awesome teacher! :D

Very interesting and really amazing! I can associate myself with some of the critical issues described. In my experiences in "listening", I find that I'm totally (really totally) focused on "listening" based on the topic or issues covered, otherwise, boring. I am always focused on the point that I almost always unable to blink my eyes on the presenter, his/her body language in presenting, gestures, use of hands, the ability to articulate and the use of words would really catch the attention of the participants. This would bring out a resounding interaction between the presenter and the participants. I had experienced these during my school days, especially in my postgraduate, my experiences as a "listener" and as a "presenter". Personally, the topic or the issue(s) presented is critical in capturing the full attention of everyone. In this presentation, I admire both the "issue" as well as the manner the presenter opened up his presentation. Very interesting and motivating.

This is the best teacher speaker ever. 48 minutes I listened to him without blinking!

Old man taking his sweet time getting to the point

wow, this is an EXTREMELY old video. I like the way the professor talks. He demonstrates a good teacher often has some sorta acting skills. He is so articulate. lucky to watch this video. Bless him~

Woah! This is the best teacher I have ever met in my life. God bless you sir

:D....THANK YOU...and you r really gud...immensely interesting ummm

I wish I had him as my lecturer in Communication Skills at my undergraduate level. Kudos Sir!!

I've been teaching various things for a while now and as far as I'm aware none of my students ever had a workshop like that. Really interesting - thanks!

I wish I knew about these self-improvement lectures earlier so I may be a better student today. Please do not cancel.

Interesting way, I'll try it..Thanks for sharing this.

It has been absolutely useful lesson for me! I’m envious of course participants who have had the greatest chance to listen to the teacher! Let me thank you for your remarkable communication!

Whatever you do, do your best. This teacher is one of the best one. I have always had problem
in understanding English, but this time!

This teacher is so right about the PSEUDO listening!! He's such a great teacher, I wish I could be in his workshops.

what great presentation is it!!!!! thanks for changing my mind towards listening skills Dear Prof.

I came here to improve my ENGLISH listening skills but this video had helped me to improve my listening skills in general and it is the first time that I paid an attention for a long video ,greetings from Saudi Arabia

What a tremendous lecture! Made me sit up and listen. And I agreed with it completely. Having been a lecturer myself for years, it was fun too. 😁
