Song interpretation listening activity
When conveying any message, an effective method involves both speaking and listening empathetically and attentively. As such, active listening plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding, promoting meaningful dialogue, and fostering a deep connection between the parties involved (Ivone et al., 2019). Engaging in active listening activities can encourage any participants to be present and fully engage in the conversation-the activities creating an environment that encourages active participation and understanding, respect, openness, and trust (Lestary, 2019). The activities also assist participants to be better listeners, build stronger teams, and foster healthier relationships.
