Discriminative Listening from Comprehensive


Listening
Answer: Discriminative listening and comprehensive listening are
listening skills. Discriminative listening is a type of listening that
involves interpreting solely the sound instead of understanding
the whole message of the speaker. For instance, a student came
home late and wanted to know if her mother was mad so she
listened to her mother's tone of voice to determine her mood
instead of paying attention to the words she was saying. On the
other hand, comprehensive listening deals with understanding
and interpretation of words and ideas. An example of
comprehensive listening is listening to your teacher's lecture to
understand the concept being taught, rather than just hearing the
words spoken.
2. Appreciative Listening from Selective Listening
Answer: Appreciative listening and selective listening are two
different types of listening skills. Appreciative listening occurs
when individuals listen to any form of entertainment that gains
pleasure or enjoyment. For instance, listening to music and then
feeling relaxed after. On the other hand, selective listening is the
selecting of specific pieces of information or paying attention to
certain information. An example is when a student is listening to
a lecture, and they selectively listen for the key points that will be
on the exam.
