We focus on the negotiation of intergenerational cultural values related to listening expectations within face-to-face and digital communication in the classroom context between people with diverse intersectional identities. Despite a growing digital platform use in education, students and teachers are often unaware that listening is an active process to which they need to attend. Interpersonal listening is underestimated, under taught, and yet remains an essential skill for effective education, in both face-to-face and digital contexts.

This presentation builds awareness of listening differences among generations (especially Generation Z and others) and offers tips for better listening across age and generation.
