Richard Morecroft presents this video as an introduction to the concepts of critical listening. Listening critically means being able to put yourself in the speaker's shoes, to find out the intention, attitude or purpose of the speaker. Dramatized examples explore the following: hearing versus listening, listening for purpose, listening for choice of language, tone, pitch, volume, visual cues such as body-language, pause and emphasis, and effective listening skills.
