What does AUDING mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The skill of listening to spoken language and actively understanding and remembering its meaning, rather than simply hearing the sound.
Teachers and researchers coined auding to separate the passive act of hearing from the active mental work of following, interpreting and recalling what someone has said. A student can hear a lecture perfectly well while doing very little auding, if attention drifts and the content never really registers. Reading specialists sometimes test auding alongside reading comprehension, since both skills draw on similar abilities to build meaning from language, whether spoken or written. The term remains mostly confined to education and linguistics rather than everyday conversation about listening.
