QUES Enlist the type of listening and elucidate the type of reading.

ANS

GENERAL LISTENING TYPES:

1. DISCRIMINATIVE LISTENING - This type of listening focuses on the


auditory details of a message. It requires the listener to pay attention to the specific
sounds that are being heard. For example, a listener might focus on the volume, pitch,
tone, and speed of the message they are receiving. Discriminative listening is
especially useful in situations where a message needs to be accurately interpreted
2. COMPREHENSIVE LISTENING- It includes interpreting the message or
messages that are being communicated. Comprehensive listening is a key component
of all listening subtypes, just like discriminative listening. The listener must have the
necessary language and vocabulary skills to engage in extensive listening and
comprehension.

SPECIFIC LISTENING TYPES

I. Informational listening (Listening to Learn)


When we listen to learn something new or receive instruction, we are absorbing new facts
and information; we are not critiquing. When engaging in informational listening, especially
in formal contexts like meetings at work or in the classroom

II. Critical Listening (Listening to Evaluate and Analyse)


When compared to informational listening, critical listening is far more active and frequently
involves problem-solving or decision-making. Similar to critical reading, critical listening
involves analyzing the information heard and comparing it to what we already know or think.

III. Empathic listening (Listening to Understand Feelings and Emotions)


Achieving therapeutic or empathic listening might be extremely difficult, yet it is a way of
connecting profoundly with another person.

OTHER LISTENING TYPES

I. Appreciative Listening
Hearing with appreciation is listening with pleasure. A nice illustration is listening to music,
particularly when it's done to unwind.
II. Rapport Listening
We can use a style of listening when attempting to establish rapport with individuals that
helps the other person like and trust us. For instance, a salesperson could try to pay close
attention to what you have to say to build trust and possibly close a deal. In negotiations, this
kind of listening is typical.
III. Selective Listening
. It suggests that the listener is somehow prejudiced against what they are hearing, which is a
more negative style of listening. Bias may be motivated by pre-existing notions or
communications that are emotionally challenging.

TYPES OF READING MODES


I. Scanning
The only objective of this reading mode is to locate pertinent information inside the text.
It does not imply a deep comprehension of the text's details or a close examination of its
grammatical structures.

II. Skimming

You can use this reading mode to decide whether or not this information will be
beneficial to you. The text is read more rapidly but less attentively than it was the
last time. 
III. Extensive reading 
This kind of reading is done to familiarise oneself with fresh information. If a word's
meaning can be roughly known from its context, this reading mode enables people to read
literary works in the arts or sciences without being side-tracked by new or unfamiliar words.

IV. Intensive reading


This kind of reading is typically applied to the learning of English to thoroughly parse the
suggested brief instructional text. Grammatical structures as well as new words and sentences
are carefully evaluated when reading in this way
