LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET #5 (Quarter 1)
Name of The Student: ________________________________________________
Date:___________________________________

I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Have you experienced failing an examination just because you
didn’t listen well to the instructions or didn’t understood the problem
because you didn’t listen analytically? What does it mean to listen
analytically?
Listening is the ability to identify and understand what others
are saying. This involves understanding a speaker’s accent or
pronunciation, his grammar and his vocabulary, and grasping his
meaning (Howatt and Dakin 1974).
In this Activity Sheet, we will learn the meaning of analytical
listening and how to apply it in solving problems.

II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM MELCs

At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
a. Define analytical listening
b. Employ analytical listening in problem solving EN10LC-IIe-13.2

As you go along with this ACTIVITY SHEET, please take note of the
following guidelines:
● If you don’t have the internet to access the links, you
may request one member in your family to read the listening text
provided.
● Listen analytically as he/she reads the text aloud.
● Answer the activities honestly and properly.

III. ACTIVITIES

A. Let Us Study

LISTENING- the process of receiving, constructing meaning from, and

responding to a spoken and/ or non-verbal message (International
Reading Association)

Types of Listening:
1. Appreciative Listening

1
 2. Emphatic Listening
3. Comprehensive/Active Listening
4. Critical/ Analytical Listening

Appreciative Listening
- listening for pleasure and enjoyment, as when we listen to
music, to a comedy routine, or to an entertaining speech
- describes how well speakers choose and use words, use
humor, ask questions, tell stories, and argue persuasively

Emphatic Listening
- listening to provide emotional support for the speaker, as when
a psychiatrist listens to a patient or when we lend a sympathetic
ear to a friend
- focuses on understanding and identifying with a person’s
situation, feelings, or motives; there is an attempt to understand
what the other person is feeling

Comprehensive/ Active Listening

- listening to understand the message of a speaker, as when
we attend a classroom lecture or listen to directions fo finding a
friend’s house

- focuses on accurately understanding the meaning of the

speaker’s words while simultaneously interpreting non-verbal
cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture, and vocal
quality

Steps in Active Listening

1. listening carefully by using all available senses

2. paraphrasing what is heard both mentally and verbally
3. checking your understanding to ensure accuracy
4. providing feedback

During a question-and-answer session, speakers use comprehensive

listening skills to accurately interpret the audience’s questions.

Critical/ Analytical Listening

- listening to evaluate a 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
- focuses on evaluating whether a message is logical and reasonable
- asks you to make judgements based on your evaluation of the
speaker’s arguments -challenges the speaker’s message by
evaluating its accuracy and meaningfulness, and utility -uses
critical thinking skills.

Analytical Listening helps bring balance to a conversation and process

information objectively. In conversation with others, feeling plays an
important role. When the atmosphere of the conversation is good,
2
 chances are objectivity will disappear into the background.

Being mindful of this allows for a balance to be created between feeling

and logical reasoning. Analyses of causes can be made, after which the
consequences of a problem can be better detected as well. An analytical
listener is able to critically look at elements of a problem and apply
models to them.

By distinguishing main problems from partial problems, the analytic

listener can collect a lot of information, then research it. After collecting
all of the data, the analytical listener will be highly able to make logical
connections, detect the actual cause, and think of fitting solutions.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT (ACTIVITY- LET’S TRY IT)

As much as we try to avoid it, conlict is just a normal part of life. A friend, our
enemy, parents, it doesn’t matter. We would disagree with others sometimes. Not everyone
sees things the same way. Sometimes these conflicts get pretty heated. Just no one wants it
more bigger. We don’ like this. So, what can we do to not go there. Well, you’re in luck
because today four simple things to remember to get from conflict to resolution.

I’m Elvis and this is Rocketkids, and let get this started.

1. JUST STOP – Do you ever have someone disagree with you, sure you have.
We think something is unfair, someone is being mean or someone thinks
we are wrong about something. It happens to everyone. Even us people
like you and me, yeah, we’re awesome! Look, when someone disagrees
with us, it can leave us feeling frustrated, upset or even a little mad-
maybe a lot mad. We may blame them, say hurtful words or raise your
voice, then what happens? You would’ve have guessed it. The situation
gets worse. Before you know it, everyone has said hurtful words,
screaming and no one wins. So, stop before you react. Think about the
situation recognize your emotions and stop. Did I say stop? Yes, stop and
don’t go there.

2. WATCH YOUR WORDS – Sometimes we can’t fins the right words and we
Say something we didn’t mean especially when we are upset. Just remem-
ber, once you’ve said something, you can’t take it back. It’s out there, you
said it and they’ve heard it. You probably didn’t like it, so use nice words,
use a calm voice, don’t put the other person down, don’t use mean com-
ments and don’t blame them from what’s happening. These are all sure
fire ways to get things horribly worng. Watch your words, you can’t take
them back, just be nice. No one can be md at nice.

3. LISTEN UP – This is a big one and often, the hardest to do. When we are
upset, it’s really hard for us to hear what someone is saying to us like
really hear. There is a reason why the other person is upset or feels the
way they do. Just like us, we are upset for a reason. But if we can listen to
why the other person is feels the way they do, and put ourselves in their
shoes, then it’s much easier for us to find a solution. We can even ask
them what’s bothering them so we can work it out. Let them talk! Don’t
interrupt, just listen and let them know you understand how they feel.

4. FINDING A SOLUTION – This is where we can work together to come up

With the answer that solves our problem. Remember, we aren’t going to
get here if we don’t know what the problem is.

So STOP, WATCH YOUR WORDS, LISTEN UP. Each person can come up with a solutions to
our problem. Talk quietly about it, take turns and don’t scream. No one wants to see your
baby scream, we are not babies. Solutions
Can be hard and you may not get exactly what you want because we have to compromise.
Everyone should be equally okay with the solution. Sometimes we just have to accept it even
if we don’t get anything we want. The important thing is we didn’t go there. So there you
have it! Four simple things to remember to keep us from going there when we disagree.
There was a lot more to it, but this is a great start. Remember, just stop, watch your words
and listen up and don’t go there. Thank you for watching!
