PROCESS OF LISTENING

5. Types of Listening:
Passive Listening- without reacting: Allowing someone to speak,
without interrupting. Not doing anything else at the same time.
Attentive Listening- Active listening involves giving the other person
time to explore their thoughts and feelings, they should, therefore,
be given adequate time for that. Active listening not only means
focusing fully on the speaker but also actively showing verbal and
non-verbal signs of listening.

6. Appreciative Listening-
Appreciative listening is a type
of listening behavior where
the listener seeks certain
information which they will
appreciate, and meet his/her
needs and goals. One
uses appreciative
listening when listening to
music, poetry or the stirring
words of a speech.

7. Analytical Listening- Analytical Listening is about the
ability and the capacity to properly analyse what is
being said. This not only means understanding what the
other person is saying and what they mean to say, but
also being able to divide difficult questions into
separate parts in order to get to the core.
Analytical Listening is to evaluate the content of the
message.
Making judgments based on what you see and hear to
decide whether the information is valid so problems
concerned will be solved.

9. TIPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE
ANALYTICAL LISTENING IN SOLVING
PROBLEMS
Stay away from possible
distractions. ( Do not pay attention
to speaker’s mannerism – accent,
tone, and gestures as they can be a
source of distraction)
Do not make judgments. (It is
imperative to reason as you listen.)
Collect key information, concepts
and categorize questions.
Concentrate on facts and not to
assumptions.

10. Know speaker’s perspective.
(Conflict can be lessen by knowing
their perspective.)
Don’t bombard with senseless
questions. (It is rude to interrupt a
speaker, this might send a wrong
signal about your intention. Do not
ask unimportant questions.)
Focus on clarity and let the
speaker finish his/her side of the
story.
Give an honest feedback. (Show
that you understand his/her
points. Summarize to avoid
confusion.)
