EMPLOYING ANALYTICAL

LISTENING IN PROBLEM SOLVING

AND EVALUTAING SPOKEN TEXTS

USING A GIVEN CRITERIA

 Communication does not only refer to
the art of talking or the verbal
transmission of ideas, but also how the
receiver accepts the intended message and
interprets its meaning through listening,
even if/she experiences different forms of
disruptions or barriers.
 ANALYTICAL
LISTENING
One form of listening is analytical listening. This type
of listening occurs when the receiver of the message
consciously decides whether what she/he has heard is
factual, analyzes and judges its validity, and accepts or
rejects the message. Because of this, analytical listening
is often used to resolve problems not only at home but
also when dealing bigger problems such as peace talks
between nations.
 WAYS TO SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO
LISTEN ANALYTICALLY IN
RESOLVING PROBLEMS
 1. Focus on the task at hand and avoid any
form of interruption.
• Have presence of mind and always be observant.
• When listening to someone, focus on the message
being said and not merely on other factors such as
gestures, facial expressions, voice intonation and
modulation, physical appearance and other
aspects that might potentially take away your
attention from listening intently to the speaker.
 1. Focus on the task at hand and avoid any
form of interruption.
• These nonverbal communicative techniques also
generate meaning, but verbal communication is more
direct and could still be open to misinterpretation
(unlike nonverbal communication). By focusing
intently on the spoken intent, the problem of
misinterpreting the message would less likely occur.
You could immediately address a message that is
unclear, vague or interruptive if you are able to zero in
on the task at hand.
2. Be objective and open

• Avoid biases and assumptions. Concentrate on

what is important. If there are statements
expressed by the speaker that are different from
your beliefs and viewpoints or seem foreign to
you, accepts and respect them. Everyone is
entitled to his/her own opinion.
3. If in doubt, ask constructive questions.
• If some terms or concepts are unclear, ask questions,
but ask them politely and cordially. Make sure that
your questions are relevant, straight to the point and
sensible.
• Ask until you get a definite answer. Asking just for the
sake of wanting to know whether the speaker knows
what he/she is talking about is rude. Always put
yourself in the shoes of the speaker.
4. Provide a genuine and fair evaluation of
what was said.
• Show your appreciation for the speaker’s effort by
giving him/her an assessment that is honest and free
from any one-sided commentaries. Repeat important
lecture points raised during the discussion. This will
show that you have paid attention and that you are an
active listener.
• Another important aspect of
effective is speaking. The most
common and frequent speaking form
used by many is the spoken text.
• The spoken text literally means a
language that is meant to be spoken,
unlike its counterpart language,
which is designed to be written.
• Spoken text is integral in society
because it helps people freely
express their emotions, insights,
ideas and opinions on things or
situations that matter to them.
• It also highlights each unique
culture, celebrates diversity, and
embraces differences.
• Spoken text is an expression that
goes beyond mere words, but
touches on the essential aspects of
what it is to be human, through
communication.
Here are sentence examples showing differences between written language and spoken
text/language.

 SPOKEN WORDS
• Can be characterized as brief, simple and
spontaneous. The spoken text uses the
active voice of the verb, requires a specific
amount of action, uses more
grammatically-structured words, and uses
first person point of view and connectors.
In spoken text, repetition of words is
common and is interactive in nature.
