Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
Good morning class! “Good morning Ma’am."
How are you today? “We’re fine ma’am.”

3. Checking of attendance
Your attendance will be based later on your “Yes, Ma’am. That would be okay.”
participation in our activity. So, you don’t have
any choice but to participate. Would that be
okay?
4. Review
“Before we proceed to our new lesson today, let
us have first a recap of our previous lesson.
How can we tell if the statement is a fact and not
just an opinion? Or just an opinion and not a fact? “We can tell that a statement is a fact if it can be
proven and is true in all cases and for all people;
in other words, a universal truth. However,
opinions are statements that express a belief,
judgement, or feeling, and are debatable in
 nature. These statements can potentially be
agreed or disagreed.”
Very good!

B. Motivation
Activity
I have here two different pictures to show you. I
need four volunteers to portray the conversations
that the characters have in the pictures.

*first picture will be played by Winmarie and

John Lloyd

*second picture will be played by Zaldy and

Marjie

*students give four claps to their classmates

“Thank you so much, Winmarie, John Lloyd,
Zaldy, and Marjie for that great performance!
Okay class, let us give them four claps.”
C. Analysis “Ma’am I have noticed that John Lloyd is really
paying attention while Winmarie is talking.”
“Okay class, what have you noticed with the
conversation between Winmarie and John Lloyd
in scene 1?” “Yes, Ma’am!”

“Yes, Justine?”
“Very good, Justine! Just like John Lloyd, you
are also paying attention on what they are doing a
while ago. I know that you are all attentive in this “John Lloyd listened attentively, ma’am, because

someone talking.
“Now, did John Lloyd also listen attentively
while Winmarie is talking? How can you say
so?” Yes, Denn? “It is important to pay attention to someone we
are talking to for us to understand what he/she is

attention to someone we are talking to? Yes
Jovelyn?”

“No Ma’am.”

“Very well said, Jovelyn! Thank you for sharing
that very informative thought of yours.”
“Do you have anything to add, class?”
“Okay, let us now proceed to the conversation
between Zaldy and Marjie. What have you
noticed with their conversation? Yes Blake?”
“In Zaldy and Marjie’s conversation, Ma’am, I
have noticed that while Marjie was talking, Zaldy
was not listening attentively, because he was
preoccupied by the thought that he forgot to bring
his wallet.”
“No, Ma’am. He was not able to get the message,
because he was not able to respond to her.”

“If I were Marjie I would feel sad and quite

“Alright, do you think Zaldy was able to grasp disappointed, but I would still ask him why he’s
the message that Margie was trying to express, giving me such behavior. If his reason is valid,
Klaire?” then I would let it pass, I guess.”

“Yeah, right. He is physically present in the

conversation, but he’s thinking of something else.
If you were Marjie, how would you feel if the “Maybe they are just tired, thinking of something
person you are talking to is quite lost the entire else, or not interested with the topic.”
conversation?”

“Alright, maybe there are really reasons why, in

some instances, the people we are having a
conversation with are not paying attention. What
do you think are the reasons why?”
“Yeah right, these are just some of the reasons
why we sometimes do not listen attentively.”
“. . .and that would be our topic today, we will
discuss the active and passive listening.”

Discuss the difference between active and passive

listening.

ACTIVE LISTENING
Active listening as the name suggests is the
process wherein the listener, carefully hears what
the speaker says, processes the message and then
responds to the message so as to lead the
conversation further.

Active Listening involves paying full attention to

the speaker, showing interest in what he/she is
saying through expressions, body language and
asking questions at timely intervals, to make a
good conversation.

He/she consciously makes effort to:

-Concentrate on what is being said
-Decode the message
-Participate in conversation
-Helps the speaker to deliver the message
meaningfully.

Both verbal and non-verbal clues play an

important role in active listening, wherein verbal
clues involve repeating the lines or summarizing
the matter spoken, providing suggestions or
disagreeing with the thoughts and asking suitable
questions, whereas non-verbal clues include
nodding, eye contact, etc.

PASSIVE LISTENING
Passive Listening means listening to the speaker
during the communication but in an unconscious
manner. He/She sits quietly without responding
to the speaker. It is silent and patient listening,
wherein the listener neither interrupts nor
participates in the conversation.

This means that the listener is present physically,

but may not be paying attention to the speaker’s
speech due to which the message is not absorbed
by the listener as well as he/she may not be able
to recall it in future.

The causes of passive listening are:

-Tiredness
-Multitasking
-Disinterest
-Ill health

Simply put, in passive listening, the listener is

just listening to the words but not the message.
This often leads to a misunderstanding between
the speaker and listener, as the speaker would
think that the listener has got the message
accurately.

D. Abstraction

“Class, would you agree if I say that listening is

one of the important skills that we need to
develop? Why?”
“Yes ma’am. It’s one of the important skills that
we need to develop, because being a good
listener helps solve problems, resolve conflicts,
and improve relationships.
“Very well said! Now class, since you already
have the idea of an active and passive listening,
who do you think are the active listeners?”
“Very good! Active Listeners often seek
clarifications, nod their head at timely intervals,
ask leading questions and also summarize the
content to exhibit that they followed the speaker.
“Active Listeners are those individuals who are
actively involved in the process of
communication, not just by attentively listening
to the message but also by carefully noticing the
manner in which the message is delivered. In
other words, active listeners pay attention to the
content and manner, i.e. the tone, pitch, body
language, facial expressions, etc. of the speaker,
when the message was delivered.”

“How about the passive listeners?”
Passive Listeners are the ones who listen to the
message partially. Moreover, there is also the
absence of sensitivity to nuances, hidden
meanings, nonverbal clues which are involved in
the communication.

“group discussions, students asking questions

“Alright, now, who can give me some scenarios
where active listening is evident?
“Very good! How about scenarios for passive
listening?”
from the teacher on the topic explained, and job
interview.
“ listening to someone while operating a mobile
phone, and watching TV while eating food are
just some of the examples of passive listening.”

“Active listening is important because it

establishes a connection between the speaker and
“Why is active listening important?” listener. It will help improve your communication
skills.

“Very well said, class! It seems that you have

already understood our lesson today. I’m truly
happy that you are all actively listening and
participating on the discussion of our topic.

“Do you have questions before we proceed to our

“No ma’am!”
activity, class?”

“Okay, great!”

E. Assessment
Identify whether the situation pertains to active or
passive listening. We will do this activity through
a game, and since this is a game the winner(s)
will receive a prize. This game is called “PILI-A
AKO” I have here two speech bubbles, the red
one is for the Active Listening and the blue one is
for the Passive Listening. I will give you the
scenarios and you have to choose whether it
belongs to active or passive listening. Once you
already have an answer, you have to fall in line in
front of the person holding the speech bubbles of
your choice. If you’ll get the wrong answer, you
have to take your seat. The last person(s)
standing will be declared winners.
