WTC Interview Questions
A: Experience in the classroom:
1. Ever since I have been enrolled in IIUM, I have learnt many new things especially regarding the language. I learnt to differentiate which is appropriate to use in the assignments and during the presentation in term of the usage of the language. Moreover, most of BENL subjects have a lot to do with doing interview with the foreigners; hence, I get to learn more knowledge in different languages and able to compare them with English language.
2. I will only communicate in the classroom if I have the idea on what should I say. Hence, I need to understand thoroughly first the thing that need to be said so that I have the confidence to communicate. This is because I will feel embarrassed if I say something that is unclear that other people could not understand what I am talking about.

It will be easier to communicate with my close friends in the class instead of someone I barely know or rarely talk to. Because I afraid that he or she will judge my level of speaking. With the teachers also I afraid that I will talk or blurt out something nonsense or unnecessary. Sometimes I cannot finish my sentence because of the anxiety so I feel better to not start volunteering myself to talk.
4. I would like to communicate more if the topic is about something I know or I am interested in. Or it can be based on my own experience so I can easily tell others about that.
5. Yes, it slightly helped my language learning because I can practice through the activities. However, the situation cannot be generalized to the real daily life so sometimes it could be different thing that I can use when outside of the class.
6. The sociocultural variables that make me less willing to communicate are when people around me are all those who have a very high level of English that I could feel intimidated by them if I said something that is probably incorrect.

Explain how play and activities are used to support the development of speech, language and communication. Children should be exposed to various opportunities for speaking and listening to encourage their curiosity and promote their communicative literacy.

The program helped me become familiar with other forms of grammar used in daily communications. It also increased my confidence in writing. As I duly noted above, IXL did in fact assist me in my skills needed to exceed in writing.
Some people cannot answer these questions without the help of others, whether that advice is positive or negative. In the novel Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, she shows you the story of a girl searching for her voice. The main character of this life changing book, Melinda, a teen who was raped at a high school party, is struggling with speaking to others about the horrible event she experienced at the party.

There are reasons of not being able to communicate with teachers or other
Mills writes “Speaking to others in private and to groups in public is one of those life and job skills that I was talking about above, and if you can treat college as an opportunity for honing that skill, you will be ready to talk in these other sorts of situations.” (pg. 6 ) This quote explains that talking to others in certain situations is an important life skill and if it is learned in college, it will become easier to talk in those situations. Speaking to others is also helpful in relationships.
Field Experience: Interview Rationale: I chose to interview my grandfather about his experience being the primary care-taker for my grandmother since she had a stroke roughly two years and eight months ago. The reason why I chose to do this is because while I’ve talked to my grandmother about her experience many times, I have never spoken to my grandfather about what it is like to be in the position in which he is. I have had experience with stroke survivors before after I had volunteered with the speech therapy department at a rehabilitation facility in Harrisburg, PA, but I was interested to see what it is like for the people who take care of these individuals. I imagined it is hard for my grandfather; however I learned a lot about his duties

Throughout my childhood I have had trouble with speaking in front of a large group of people. Whether that is in a classroom or ordering dinner at a large restaurant. I have an anxiety disorder called Selective Mutism or SM. Back when I was in elementary and middle school this was a lot worse than what it is now. Throughout my elementary years the SM was much more prominent than what it is now.
2. Class critiques each interview with the class teacher.
Knowing you can speak but not knowing that you won’t go unpunished changes the environment even further than the possibly uncomfortable interactions with strangers. In a classroom or working environment, the grey area for what is allowed is arguably larger than ever. Not knowing what you can say means results in two choices, Taking the risk or Saying nothing, often people choose the latter because the risk isn’t worth the reward of discussion. It isn’t the root of the problem as it doesn’t apply to all circumstances, but restrictions can be attributed to what caused the decreased ability of
Communication is the process of understanding and sharing information. It is a 2 way process that involves sending messages (verbally and non-verbally) and receiving them (listening). Effective communication is communication that is clearly and successfully delivered, received and understood, and is key for developing and maintaining positive relationships with others. With children it helps build trust between teacher and pupil, ensuring they are comfortable around you and the classroom environment. Building trust is not based solely on verbal communication.
Convergence shows that class is not the determining factor of the language used in a conversation, as it is also affected by who else is speaking. However, now that class lines have become blurred, class is somewhat determined by social circles, and so it is likely that the friends are in the same social class, as they have the same social circles. This means that both the people you spend time with, and your social class both affect the language used, rather than only the social class a person belongs in. In conclusion, social class will affect a person’s language to a large extent, through both the vocabulary and formality of the language chosen.
• Make key points clear: itâ€TMs important that you make the areas of what you are saying to a person very clear and make sure that they understand what you have said to them because understanding is the key aim of communications. If you want to know whether the person you are communicating with has understood what you have said to them you can ask them to repeat or ask them questions. • Be considerate to others: when communicating with people it is important to be considerate especially children and understand that not everyone is having a good day every day, as they might be having issues outside school or issues that they donâ€TMt want to talk about. Sometimes people are sad or angry and are not in the mood to talk to you so itâ€TMs
