2. analyze the deeper meaning or message of the song.
3. give personal view about the message of the song.
Listening is attending to what you consider important. It is trying to get the meaning of
what you hear. To successfully listen to spoken language, you need to be able to work out what
the speakers mean when they use particular words in particular words in particular ways and
situation. The important thing about listening is getting the meaning of the message and
interpret it.
Listening can be classified into several types depending on how you pay attention to
what is being said or heard. These are:
1. Marginal/Passive Listening – also called hearing, the listener hears the sounds, often
in the background but simply ignore them. Because he or she is engrossed in another
task.

2. Attentive Listening – The listener focuses attention and shows interest in what is
being said. He or she takes note of the specifics and how they relate to the main
points made by the speaker.

3. Critical/Analytical Listening – In this type of listening one has to decide on the truth
of ideas, pass judgement on claims made and made decisions and whether to accept
or reject it.

4. Appreciative Listening – This type of listening gives listener pleasure maybe from
the humor, or the blending of the voice in choric arrangement.

For this lesson, analytical listening is given emphasis.
