Eliminate other distractions.  Close your eyes, or at least look only at the person speaking.  As the person you are listening to makes a point, see if you can restate that point another way.  If you are talking about communication between 2 people, the listener can ask the other person a summary question "So what I hear you saying is...".  If you are talking about the listening skills needed in a classroom situation, try and creat an outline based on the major points that the speaker is trying to communicate to you.  By definition, a true discussion cannot usually involve more than 5 people because everyone must participate, not only in listening, but also in stating their own opinions.  However, in a true discussion, you are not supposed to be slavishly devoted to your own opinion either.  You should enter into a discussion with a firm understanding of your own beliefs and perspectives, but also be willing to abandon yours and adopt those of a fellow discussion member.  Hope that helps some.

The best things you can do to better your English are actually to read or to watch TV.  It's all about exposure.

There should be an effective listening skills course. As a higher ed prof, I have taken several courses on it, but in our K-12 system in the US, I think it is largely overlooked. The K-12ers seem to be so intent on teaching what they have to that they don't seem to be listening to our children.

Many English language learners use television. Record a show you like with people using everyday conversation. Watch it several times writing down phrases you want to practice. Then, use those phrases in daily conversation.

Explain that communication is a two way street. There is listening to hear an opinion, and talking to share your opinion.  Listening is shutting up and paying attention, and talking is repectfully communicating with your own voice.

Reading books and magazines and listening to the radio is a very good idea. To dismiss TV is wrong because of course people speak English on TV. It's often not standard BBC English but it contains slang and colloquialisms that you need to know in order to communicate with people. I'm an EFL teacher and I know of a school in Clapham called TBG Learning. Not sure if that's close to you. I'm surprised you can't find anything in south London.

I can giveyou moreinformation on learning English...!  A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English.  You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

it's to make you a well-rounded individual with some knowledge in all areas. It's not really the actual knowledge that is important, it's the mechanics of learning that knowledge that is important. Learning how to meet deadlines, do a task, memorize things, understand concepts, studying, all those things that are needed in any workplace.

Don't you hate it when people say listen carefully instead of listening themselves. People suck.\nAnd besides, it was the correct answer. The teacher got it wrong. Teachers suck.
