Listening is more important than speaking in a “conversation.” Even though people take turns in speaking, a conversation that nobody listens to is just an exchange of monologues. We cannot say it is a conversation. In a conversation, when a person says something, others should have a “listening” response before another person speaks again. The right “listening” response has three steps: (a) listening to the implied meaning of words, (b) listening to the emotions conveyed by the words, and (c) listening to the hidden meaning (speaker`s intention) in words. After completing the three steps, the role of the speaker and listener is reversed. The word “empathic listening” is unnecessary because the correct concept of “listening” involves the characteristics of empathic listening. Although empathy is not the ultimate purpose of “listening”, we should feel empathy first, and then only do we listen to the speaker`s intention. “Listening" is not listening to words but to people. The education of “conversation” genre should be taught correctly. Because teachers should model conversation correctly, the education of conversation involves teachers listening to their students` speech using the three steps. The education of conversation can succeed through classroom instruction and teacher`s modeling.
