Sometimes we listen for a specific detail - like the time the bus leaves. Sometimes we listen just to get the general idea of what is happening.

Extensive

With extensive listening we listen for a longer period of time, and generally only to catch the general idea of what is going on.

Intensive

With intensive listening activities we are listening for a short amount of time, and usually to catch specific information or details.
