Students who excel in active listening also contribute much to the formation of community. This is also true of students who may not speak often but when they speak {sometimes only when reading required writing} the significance of what they have to say far exceeds those of other students who may always openly discuss ideas. And of course there are times when an active silence, one that includes pausing to think before one speaks, adds much to classroom dynamics.
