Students who listen and discuss their learning with others are more able to communicate their thinking and learning with others. Listening requires a dialogue and dialogue involves students in the learning process. Much of the intelligence students develop is through speaking and listening and this dialogue is an ongoing process that helps us learn about the world around us. This process is instrumental in developing our creativity, problem solving, and relationship skills. For students to become deep thinkers who are able to analyze, synthesize, and become critical problem solvers, we need to involve them in questioning, debating, critiquing, discussing, and making connections with their learning.
