Reflection On Communication Skills

858 Words4 Pages

Having a conversation with someone who you have only known for two weeks at the most can be challenging. But challenging your communication skills can be a good thing sometimes. In order to challenge my communication skills, I got paired with McKenzie, I was challenged to have two conversations with her. The first conversation is held in person for at least 15 to 30 minutes. The second conversation is held on a form of mediated communication source no matter what it is, this conversation too is at least 15 to 30 minutes. Both conversations will be held at different times during the day, if one conversation is held at lunch and the other conversation needs to take place at another time during the day. This is a challenge to see how you communicate, how you listen, and how you can better communicate after each conversation takes place. The first conversation, took place over lunch after class one day. The conversation started out talking about our majors and what we want to do after college. Then it shifted and was about high school band and how band played a role in our lives for many years. We had a few interruptions such as people walking up and talking to us while we were in mid-conversation. Neither of us had our phones out, which did not really play a role in our distractions at all. There was noise around us since we were on the second floor of the University Center, there are going to be other people around us. McKenzie’s non-verbal’s included head shaking

  • Interpreter Observation

    The student was speaking loud enough to be heard by all of the students, but was not being too distracting. Megan chose not to interpret any of what that student said or what the faculty member trying to calm the student said. When I asked Megan about her chose not to interpret that, she told me she would have interpreted it, if it was very distracting. However, it was not very distracting and the deaf student was busy doing work so it was unnecessary to get the deaf student’s attention to interpret a non-distracting conversation that had nothing to do with the deaf student. At one point the deaf student was looking over at the student with EBD and at that point Megan signed “STUDENT FRUSTRATED TEACHER IX-she TRY SOLVE CALM-DOWN”.

    As Barnwell observes his students flounder in his conversational project, he realizes, “that conversational competence might be the single-most overlooked skill we fail to teach students,” (Par. 5). Through his personal reflection, Barnwell trivializes the issue as more of a lack of skill rather than a deep psychological issue. He is right, there is defiantly a lack of conversational skill in this generation, however, that is more of a symptom than it is the root of the disease. Barnwell’s solution for teachers is to “have a conversation,” with the students “about a challenging topic” (Par. 14). This is a good solution for the problem posed.

    Which can mean you can be more or less formal in different situations. When leading a group activity children need you to be a lot firmer and take on a leadership role, to give clear, concise instructions, they need you to take control over behaviour to prevent distractions to learning. However in a busy classroom, you may be able to have more relaxed chatty conversations, where they may bring up problems such as fall outs between themselves and others and chat to you about what they did last night. Communication differences are barriers to effective speaking such as speech and language impairments, cultural differences or sensory

    The two key topics in class in the last weeks, for me. Two of the most relevant topics developed in the last weeks were: non-verbal communication and the barriers to communication. Everytime we communicate with another person or group of people, we have to take into account some factors other than what we are actually saying that can affect how the message is going to be received: body language, tone, intonation, facial expressions, and others; this is what we understand for non-verbal communication. As we saw in class “55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and 7% is the actual words spoken.”

    Throughout the program, we have practiced routine assignments such as medical, banking, ODSP application appointments, etc. One recurring idea is that during interactions, we can safely assume that “the second utterance [in a conversation] is functionally dependent on the first one” (Nordquist, 2017, para. 1). If one interlocutor asks a question, the other interlocutor will answer with a response that generally makes sense. Another theory I have found challenging is the idea of truthfulness. “traditional pragmatic theories assume that people should seek to be truthful in their speech actions, through adherence to a maxim of quality” (Gibbs & Van Orden, 2012,
