Understanding social cues is
one way to communicate
more effectively and improve
social interactions.
Understanding social cues is
crucial for understanding the
meaning behind certain
behaviors. It will help them to
avoid confusion and
misunderstanding.
Additionally, they would be
able to predict their course of
action in certain situations.
This kind of social skill is
something that can be
developed. As an aspiring
educator, I can assign tasks
that require a student to
demonstrate changes in facial
expressions, body language,
voice pitch and tone. These
cues fall under the category of
social cues, so I'll use them as
a guide for the learning
exercises that students can
do.
Tone of voice can also
persuade the audience.
• Debate. Just like public
speaking, this one also
emphasizes body language,
facial expressions, and tone
of voice. It shows in this one
the importance of reading
social cues. It will assist
them in reading the room as
they can watch their
opponents and assess their
reactions.
• Roleplay. By mimicking
certain situations, they can
incorporate body language,
facial expressions, and tone
of voice in presenting.
• Charades. A fun yet
learning activity like this will
help the students to practice
their body language and
facial expressions. In order
to decipher what their
classmates are trying to say,
they can also watch them
closely and learn from their
attentive observations.
