ACTIVITY 2: INSTRUCTIONS Selective listening is the act of hearing and interpreting only parts of a message that seem relevant to you, while ignoring or devaluing the rest. Often, selective listeners will form arguments before they've heard the full story, making them not only poor listeners but poor speakers too! A good listener should be present for the entire discussion, not just selective parts. 1.
