andcontextual listening.18 Whereas basic listening “refers to hearing or paying attention to the  verbal and nonverbal messages of any speaker” and “is framed as a dyadic process ofspeaking (output) and hearing/receiving information (input),” contextual listening is moreappropriate for community engagement contexts (p. 124).18 Contextual listening is a multidimensional, integrated understanding of the listening process wherein listening facilitates meaning making, enhances human potential, and helps foster community-supported change. In this form of listening, information such as cost, weight, technical specs, desirable functions, and timeline acquires meaning only when the context of the person(s) making the
