6. PART TWO
DIALOGUE
Nina Dearle

7. A dialogue is a conversation between
two or more people
Nina Dearle

8. Let the other person speak ….
… but remember, two monologues do not make
a dialogue!
Nina Dearle

9. It is important you listen to the other person and respond to
what they say
before adding more information.
Nina Dearle

10. Listening vs. Hearing
Listening and hearing are not the same.
Listening is a conscious, active process with
the mind. Hearing is with the senses.
So listening ⍯ hearing.
Listening involves …
 focussing on the message
 comprehending and interpreting
 analysing and evaluating to
 understand
 judge
 respond
 remember
