Standard 1: Speaking and Listening

Students will speak and listen effectively in a variety of situations including, but not limited to, responses to reading and writing.

 

READING: Students will develop and apply effective communication skills through speaking and active listening.

12.1.R.2 Students will actively listen and evaluate, analyze, and synthesize a speaker’s messages (both verbal and nonverbal) and ask questions to clarify the speaker’s purpose and perspective.

Student Actions 

Teacher Actions 

  • Students will continue to remain focused on the speaker.
  • Students will continue to make inferences, judgments, and generalizations about the speaker's message.
  • Students will continue to process the speaker’s message internally before asking questions.
  • Students will continue to ask for clarification as needed to fully understand the message.
  • Teachers model active engagement and questioning techniques that require participants to make inferences, judgments, and generalizations.

  • Teachers encourage students to ask questions that lead to critical thinking.

  • Teachers monitor discussions to ensure students are staying on task and understanding the material and provide opportunities for students to receive feedback.

Standard 12.2.R.1 will help distinguish paraphrasing from simply summarizing.

Mount Holyoke guideline for evaluating students speaking in the classroom 
  • At this level, students should go beyond merely interpreting the speaker’s message.

    • Students should be able to evaluate effectiveness of the speaker’s message.

    • Students should be able to analyze the various techniques the speaker uses to achieve the intended effect and message.

    • Students should be able to synthesize verbal and non-verbal cues to formulate an in-depth understanding of the speaker’s message.

  • Active listening is the active pursuit of what another person is saying and feeling. Students who are actively listening will help further the discussion by asking meaningful questions, contributing on-target feedback, and/or paraphrasing the speaker’s message for clarification. Refer to the ELA OAS Glossary for a further explanation.

  • Verbal messages include words, phrases, and tone of voice that speakers use to add emphasis, clarify organization, make connections, and create ethos.

  • Nonverbal messages include pauses, facial expressions, eye contact, gestures, and body language. 

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
