What initially stood out to me in Cecil’s (2014) A Comprehensive Literacy Program for

Grades 4-8 was the idea of the whole set of what constitutes Language Arts. I have always

regarded Language Arts as just reading and writing, but in chapter one, we see that it is much

more. The Language Arts are listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and visually

representing. Listening is referred to as “the neglected language art because it is seldom taught”

(Cecil, 2014, p. 7). In another Teacher Education course, we were given the task of actively

listening to a partner for two minutes without responding to anything they said. For me, this was

extremely difficult because I consider myself a chatty individual. This activity made me take a

step back and realize how much we expect our students to listen quietly without responding

during the school day, and it helped me understand how difficult that must be for them. Rarely

does a teacher teach listening, but we assume that our students can go for long periods of time

without tuning us out or focusing on something else. This small passage on listening impacted

my beliefs and helped me to reflect on and reevaluate what I expect from my students versus

what I expect of myself as a teacher.
