Google Agra: Active vs passive Listening (difference between Active and passive)

Passive And Active Listening

Passive Listening is listening without reacting:

• Allowing someone to speak, without interrupting
• Not doing anything else at the same time

Active listening is reacting or doing something that demonstrates you are listening and have understood.

• Giving non-verbal cues to demonstrate you are paying attention (nodding, making eye contact, making facial expressions appropriate to what is being said)
• Reflecting back the main points and summarising what has been said
