Consultative Communicative Style

No, the consultative process would not work as effectively if the listener is a passive participant. The consultative style relies on two-way participation between the speaker and listener, with the listener providing feedback. If the listener is passive and does not engage or provide feedback, the speaker does not know if their message is being understood or if they need to clarify or explain further. The consultative style aims to have a discussion, not just one person speaking, so an active listener is important.

Consultative Communicative Style

The Consultative Communicative Style is used in semi-formal situations in which a


speaker needs to provide background information. The listener participates by giving
feedback. The consultative speech style happens in a two-way participation. Thus, both
the speaker and the listener are active participants.

This style is often used in business or in other professional situations, such as


conversation between a teacher and a student, or a doctor and a patient.

Moreover, short responses like I see and Ah can also be used to indicate that he or she
has paid close attention and comprehends what was discussed. Titles such as Mr., Ms.,
Sir, Ma’am, Madam, or Dr. are likely to be used when using this communicative style.
This communicative style is the most operational among others.

Student: Good morning, Ma'am Nicole. Can I talk to you for a minute?
