I believe the answer is:

hist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'listen' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'this' is the wordplay.
'this' anagrams to 'HIST'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hist that I've seen is " Silence".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
