Appreciative listening is a type of listening where the listener seeks to gain enjoyment or sensory stimulation from what they hear, such as music, poetry, or speeches. It involves listening for elements like tempo, rhythm, rhyme, tone color, and alliteration that make the audio pleasing to the ear. Effective teaching of appreciative listening uses techniques like jazz chants which emphasize beat and tempo to develop appreciation of language and enjoyment of listening.

To the golden sands, and the leaping bar
And the taintless tide awaits me afar,
Till I lose myself in the infinite main
Like a soul that has sinned and is pardoned again”

Jazz Chants

2. Clarify vocabulary items and cultural load
inherent in the text.
3. Say the lines of the chant once or twice, as
needed, and have the students repeat the
lines in unison.
4. Establish the beat snapping the fingers,
tapping on a table top, clapping your hands,
etc.
5. Say the lines again and have the student say
them after you.
6. Divide the class into two groups and have
them say the lines alternately.

21. According to Wolvin and Coakley
(1992)
Appreciative learning is a highly
individualized process. What is
appreciated by one may not necessarily
be appreciated by another. Some
scholars believe that appreciation needs
specific training.
In short, “What some listeners may
appreciate, others may not.”
Enrichment

22. Farnsworth (1996) suggests that
the appreciative listener’s level of
appreciation depends on the
following:
1. Tonal configuration of the piece
2. Listener’s Personality
3. Listener’s mood prior to the
listening experience
4. Listener’s prior attitude held about
appreciative listening.

3. Propriety – the appropriateness of the
style to the speaker, audience and the
occasion.
4. Economy – conciseness of language.
5. Force – vigor, power in language
6. Striking Quality – the vividness in style
7. Liveliness – the energy and movement
of the language.
