OLLISTEN - Let's Practice Listening
Course Description
We talk with people all the time, but sadly they don’t listen to us, and we don’t listen to them. By listening I mean listening to understand what the other person is
saying rather than stuffing in our opinions and views. This is not easy. for anyone to do because we want to jump in with our views and experiences but think what
a gift it can be for someone to be really listened to! The three-hour long session is informal and will focus on techniques and then practicing the skills with each
other in the class. Who in your life would love to be heard? You can choose to give this amazing gift to them. And it’s free.

Continuing Education (CE) courses and programs offered online through LSU Online & Continuing Education typically include a combination of lecture and discussion as well as reading and writing assignments. You need an adequate command of English in all skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to participate in classes.
If English is not your native language, you must meet one of the English language proficiency requirements below to be successful in our CE programs. If you intend to register for a CE course or program, you can determine whether you meet English proficiency requirements by self-assessment prior to enrolling. We want to empower you, the learner, to progress successfully. Completing this self-assessment will enable you to make a good decision on whether you can complete one of our programs.
Intermediate English Skills

When assessing yourself, be sure to read through each of the categories under Column B2 to make sure you meet proficiency requirements.
