respected, and we do not listen carefully, also by directly accusing by
misinterpretation.

PRACTICES TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION EXPLANATION

1) Recognize between passive listening and active listening.

Be more expressive and actively react to the responses of others to achieve more enjoyable
communication.

2) Listen with your eyes, ears, and also your instinct.

We must understand that communication is more than words. Therefore, it is necessary to
use our five senses to make it more comprehensive.

3) take time to understand while others try to understand you.

Communication has a double meaning. We must know how to listen to others.

4) Be aware of your own subjectivity.

Respect the points of view and the way of seeing the world of other people.

6. Write down a 7-8 sentence paragraph explaining how this information

can be used wisely by a foreign language student.

This information is wisely for a foreign language student. Because we

must know how to listen and understand others when communicating.
Also, it is necessary to make our ideas clear so as not to create
misinterpretations. For this reason, language shapes the way of thinking,
that is why it is important to know how we express our ideas in contexts
other than ours. Likewise, respect the points of view of other people. One
of the main reasons for communication is knowing how to understand
others. For this reason, this information encourages us to know how to
listen and then be able to speak. For a foreign language student, knowing
how to communicate is her presentation card.

7. Record a 30- second audio talking about a misunderstanding situation

you have experienced. What happened? How did you feel? Were you able
to communicate clearly?
