 Let Us Learn!

Listening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret

messages in the communication. It is the key to all effective
communication and without it messages are easily misunderstood. So
the question is “Are you a good listener?” You should be. In reality
people tend to misunderstand each other because of the lack of
listening skills. If we learn and value this skill, we may achieve
harmonious life with the people surrounding us.

At the end of this topic, you should be able to:

• analyze the meaning of the message using analytical listening;

• employ analytical listening in the conversation; and
• share one’s thought on how important it is to listen analytically.

 Let Us Study

Analytical Listening
Good listeners always strive to fully understand what others want to
communicate, particularly when the statement lacks clarity. Listening
demands, the attempt to decode and interpret verbal messages and
nonverbal cues, like tone of voice, facial expressions, physical posture.
Listening is a highly valued skill sought by all, for people with this ability
are more likely to understand tasks and projects, build strong relationships,
and also be able to solve problems and resolve conflicts.

✓ The word “analytical” is defined as “using or skilled in using

analysis”.

✓ Analytical listening is all about feeling and meaning. Sound

gives us meaning and perspective in 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. If they say it in a very short and abrupt way,
it may be apparent that they are angry at you, not happy to see
you.

✓ Analytical Listening helps bring balance to a conversation and

process information objectively. In conversation with others,
feeling plays an important role. Listening thoroughly and
analytically makes it easier to reconstruct a situation and find a
solution rationally. Complex problems are more easily
understood, meaning a better prediction can be made as to
which solution or method would be best.

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.
