Title: STUDY UNIT 3 LESSON
Course: Communication Skills > Section: WEEK 3 : THE SPEAKING SKILL 1

This week, we will start by advancing from theory to practice. Relax and enjoy communication in a natural context. These are real- life situations that bring into perspective the daily interactions of active communication. You work in your assigned groups to create stimulating conversations as wells as identify the complementary cues and appreciate the diverse cultures within our communication setting.

In this week, we are making it clear that speaking as well as paying attention to different experiences of students in your environment can create an academic atmosphere where students who are struggling in the language can cope and gain confidence in it. Furthermore, we are going to thoughtfully look at different aspects of face to face communication and how we might purposefully be engaged in our learning environment in a more relaxed and non-intimidating manner. This will motivates you to ponder, and draw inferences from your practice in daily social environments in which you interact and transact business. This is a practical lesson where you need to be more involved and participative
