Reflection of listening Trouble: This paragraph llustrate some major problems our group encountered while transcrping the tutorial of a native speaker. First of all and also the biggest problem is lacking of new words. Even though we do study english, but this language is not our mother tounge so there are still many words we have not discovered yet. Shortage of new words makes us not understand some words she said. As a result, I could not transcript what she said because I completely don 't understand what that words are and. Secondly is all about the ending sound. : We have some problem with hearing the ending sound, specially the ending sound /t/, /d/, /p/, /t?/, to us, it really hard to know what we heard is what kind of sound. Futhermore, We also get into some troubles with the sigular and the plural form of words. When we heard the expert spoke, we could not define which noun is in the plural form and which noun is in the singular form. Not only the the form but the tense is also another issue that make us quite confuse while …show more content…

Firstly, Listen very carefully every single words and forcus 100% your mind on it because you might miss some hard words or abbreviation if you don 't pay enough attention. Secondly, try to hear again and again as much as possible because every single word will become more clearly after every single time hearing. Thirdly, predict unknown words. If we don 't know what the meaning if that word is, we try to search it on online dictionary and predict that words base on what we hear from the expert. This way might be a little bit vague, but to me it suceeds so many times that I can not count. Finally, Practise listening as many as possible.

    She states how whenever her mother talked, many only understood about “80 to 90 percent of what she was saying” or ”some say they understand none of it, as if she were speaking pure Chinese” (Tan 179). This problem was difficult for Tan as is later led to problems in various experiences as she grew up. She brings in how many people believed “English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were then imperfect” (Tan 180). A doctor once refused CAT scan results to her mother because of her “imperfect”

  • Deaf Culture Essay

    794 Words  | 4 Pages

    The medical view challenges fundamental cultural values of the Deaf culture by undermining the importance of establishing a Deaf identity. Since its priority is to cure “Deafness” using medical interventions, young Deaf infants often do not often have a say in the auditory recovery treatments that will ultimately define their ways of life. Doctors and scientists alike are trained to think of ways to return the body to its most natural, fully equipped state and the inability to process auditory information is alarming because it deviates from their definition of a normal, healthy human being. Although the intentions of those in the medical field are not necessary maleficent, but the way in which they explain options to parents with a Deaf child

  • Deaf Culture Essay

    According to Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, “Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and million other things.” I think basically culture expresses the ways we live. Every region, every family and everyone has their own culture. For example, people usually call “Western Culture,” “Eastern Culture,” “Latin Culture,” or “African Culture” etc. Therefore, with Deaf people, they also have their own culture, which is Deaf Culture.

  • Deaf Culture Reflection

    This past week of class has been my first exposure to American Sign Language and Deaf culture. What I have found most surprising and interesting in Deaf culture is how the community follows a more collectivist mentality. A stark contrast to the American culture I have experienced where the individual is often prioritized. Reading about Andrew Foster's commitment to expanding education for Deaf children worldwide exemplified how deeply rooted this “duty to the group” (p. viii) is within Deaf culture. The Deaf Nation video we viewed at the end of the class also solidified for me how Deaf culture isn't constrained by borders but a community which spans the entire world.

  • Poor Listening Reflection Paper

    Spring break was the time I chose to monitor how effective or ineffective my listening skills were, which seemed like the perfect time to see if my behaviors changed in situations with low and high stress levels. I spent the first half of break, March 8th-14th, getting an adequate amount of sleep (8-9 hours) and relaxing with my entire body becoming one with my couch while watching new episodes of my favorite shows on Netflix and Hulu. I spent the latter half of break, March 15th-18th, traveling to Washington DC for the McNair Scholars Program Conference in which just about every single hour of our day was packed with presentations, keynote speakers, and breakout sessions. When I was at home, my poor listening behaviors were primarily due to my un-interest in the topic and these behaviors occurred mainly over the phone while talking to my mom. There were times when she would delve deeper into a topic that I really didn’t

    Reflection on the 5-Days Journey to Become a Better Listener Throughout the 5-days practice of active listening and basic attending skills in daily conversations, it was easiest for me to practice empathy. I found it easy to perceive the situation through others’ eyes and perspectives in order to capture the accurate meaning when I was nonjudgemental and listened attentively to others. As a result, I was able to develop empathic rapport in which I accurately sensed and understood others’ concerns as well as feelings as compared to when I conversed without empathy, allowing my presumptions to affect my interpretation of others’ meaning due to the need for others to agree with my worldview. Besides that, I was able to practice basic empathy, which is the second level of empathy where I paraphrased

    Introduction Though Francis Bacon did not make a mention of the importance of the art of listening, it is still the primary soft skill without which the other communication skills, namely, speaking, reading and writing, may not be effective and successful. Undoubtedly, listening occupies most of our time. However, listening is not the end of communication. Mere listening to the words of wisdom is of no use unless the listener is guided and benefited by them. Failure to communicate the message properly or effectively or failure to receive the message well may result in a communication gap.
