 Lesson
Employing Analytical Listening
1 in Problem solving

Every day, we encounter several problems that need to be solved. One best
way on how we can address these problems is through applying analytical
listening strategy. This will help us quickly see logical connections and detect
possible gaps in the information and communication process.

What’s In

TASK 1. THINK FIRST

Write words/ phrases that you think are related to analytical listening on
the concept map below.

TASK 2. LISTEN/READ AND WONDER

Read/Listen to the song “Paraiso” by Smokey Mountain, and do the
following activities.
You may refer to https://youtu.be/6ttsyqaeTFA to access the song.

PARAISO
By: Smokey Mountain

Return to a land called Paraiso

A place where a dying river ends
No birds there fly over Paraiso
No space allows them to endure
The smoke that screens the air
The grass that’s never there
And if I could see a single bird,
what a joy
I try to write some words and And if empty cans were all I have,
create what a joy
A simple song to be heard I never fight to take someone
By the rest of the world Else’s coins and live with fear
Like the rest of the boys
I live in this land called Paraiso
In a house made of cardboard
floors and walls Paraiso, help me make a stand
I learned to be free in Paraiso Paraiso, take me by the hand
Free to claim anything I see Paraiso, make the world
Matching rags for my clothes understand…
Plastic bags for the cold That if I could see a single bird,
what a joy
This tired and hungry land could
expect
Some truth and hope and respect
From the rest of the world…

What Is It

What is analytical listening?

According to an article by Patty Mulder published on August 19,
2019, analytical listening is about the ability and the capacity to properly
analyze what is being said. This not only means understanding what the
other person is saying and what they mean to say, but also being able to
divide difficult questions into separate parts in order to get the
central idea. Its objective is to quickly see logical connections as well
as detecting possible gaps in all the information.

5
 Analytical listening uses the process of listening, summarizing,
and digging deeper. The listener looks for the deeper meaning of what is
heard. When someone says something, it is not just about the contents. It
is especially the way they say it that gives meaning to the words.

Analytical listening forms one of the foundations of good decision

making. Listening thoroughly and analytically makes it easier to
reconstruct a situation and find solution rationally. This will then lead to
optimal decisions. Complex problems are more easily understood, meaning
a better prediction can be made as to which solution or method would be
best.
Moreover, analytical listening helps bring balance to a conversation
and process conversation objectively. Analyses of causes can be made,
after which the consequences of a problem can be better detected as well.
An analytical listener is able to critically look at elements of a problem,
collect a lot of information, then research it. He or she will then make
logical connections, detect actual causes and think of fitting solutions.

with problems around you?

TASK 3. THINK TO SOLVE

Listen to the news broadcast of CNN Philippines and analyze

the content. Then answer the questions in the table below.

What is the news When did it What issue/s

about? was/ were
happen? presented in the
news?

 Based on the news stories presented, brainstorm with
your classmates via chat group and discuss the following
points:

What are the What possible Is the issue

issues presented solutions can you presented also
in the news? offer? happening in your
place? Give some
details.

What have you realized after doing the activity? Share

your ideas with your classmates.

In listening to a text such as news we apply skills in

analyzing details. Through this, we learn how to identify
problems and what possible solutions can be undertaken to
address such problems.
In analytical listening, we evaluate a message for
purposes of accepting or rejecting it, as when we listen to the
sales pitch of a used-car dealer or the campaign speech of a
political candidate. (slideshare.net)

TASK 4. SPEAK AND LISTEN

Conduct a simple personal interview with three

persons of different status in life around you. Ask them their
understanding of the following sayings about listening. Listen
well to and take down notes of their ideas especially if they
agree on the given passages. Then, based on the results of
your interview, write a short summary of what effective
listening should be.

TASK 5. LIVING PROBLEMS, LIVELY SOLUTIONS

1. Begin this by listing numerous problems on the board or

flipchart. Use issues that are related to our community. Then,
with the other members of the chat group, prepare a second
list with inputs from each one of you. You can share details
on times and places related to the identified problems.

2. Have each one take a chance to deliver a short talk about a

problem so that all members of the group can analyze the
issue and give or suggest possible solutions. This can be done
via video call or teleconference.

3. Listen well to the short speeches of your classmates. Then

give your reactions and suggestions to the issues discussed.
