Tzitel's thoughts on the importance of listening in education and in storytelling keep running through my head....along with David Novak's suggestion (three weeks ago, I believe)---that the ability to question---to ask "why" is essential in the development and understanding of any story.
And yes, I do believe that storytelling encourages better listening skills---which not only relates to education---but to any time human beings are engaging in oral conversation. How often, I wonder, do people not really listen to each other---but only wait for the opportunity to "interject their own thoughts."
