Quarter 4, Week 1 - Analytical Listening

At the start of Quarter 4, We learned about Analytical Listening. It is about the ability and the capacity to properly analyze what is being said. This not only indicates understanding what the other person is saying and what they mean to say but also being able to divide difficult questions into separate parts to get to the core. Analytical listening is all about feeling and meaning. Sound gives us a sense and perspective on our lives. For example, someone talking to you can say hello. On the surface, it seems friendly, but the way they say hello to you can convey a lot of different meanings. There are Four Types of Analytical Listening. First is Appreciative Listening, it's all about listening for pleasure and enjoyment, as when we listen to music, to a comedy routine, or an entertaining speech, it also describes how well speakers choose and use words, use humor, ask questions, tell stories, and argue persuasively. The Second is Emphatic Listening, which describes the emotional support for the speaker, as when a psychiatrist listens to a patient or when we lend a sympathetic ear to a friend, focusing on understanding and identifying with a person’s situation, feelings, or motives there is an attempt to understand what the other person is feeling listener does not necessarily agree or feel the same way with the speaker. The Third is Comprehensive/ Active Listening, it's all about listening to comprehend the message of a speaker, as when we attend a classroom lecture or listen to directions for finding a friend’s house. Lastly, Critical/ Analytical Listening, explains the message for purposes of accepting or rejecting it, as when we listen to the sales pitch of a used-car dealer or the campaign speech of a political candidate and focuses on evaluating whether a message is logical and reasonable.

We got a quiz about the lesson, and it was easy especially if you understand the lesson. I learned about the 4 types of analytical listening. I didn't find it difficult. The highlight of the topic is a different kind of analytical listening.
