Furthermore, Sompit Harnmontree (2002 : 12) agrees with Sudarat
Payaprom’s definition and also suggests the steps of the communicative process that
listening is a cognitive process that concerns with the data interpretation or language
input. Receiving the language input occurs intentionally when its information and
sources are already analyzed. Conclusively, the meaning of listening differs from the
meaning of hearing. Hearing is the basis of voice classification and the levels of a
human auditory nerve. The human hearing nerve can indentify the various sounds,
such as the sound of car’s horn, the sound of a crying cat or the sound of a dialogue.
On the other hand, listening is an action with a full attention. Listeners focus on the
receiving message in order to make a good understanding of what they listened.
