Barbara Nixon, says that "to honor International Listening Awareness month, I'm doing my best to post something every day on my Listening Matters blog (http://listeningmatters.wordpress.com). I've also started a new Twitter account called @ListeningTips, where I share links to content related to listening."

Providing listening workshops is always popular during Listening Awareness Month. At both Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, and Elgin Community College in Elgin, Illinois, faculty offered free listening workshops to student organizations on campus. The campus newspapers published articles with tips for effective listening provided by the faculty as well as contact information for scheduling workshops. In addition to social organizations, some academic departments asked that this important topic be introduced to their students, faculty, and staff.
