Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational Modes of Communication<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Spanish, the most common greeting such as\u00a0\u201cgood morning\u201d\u00a0or\u00a0\u201cgood afternoon,\u201d\u00a0are incredibly important. In this culture, it’s formal to greet another person to show respect. In fact, in some parts of Latin America, you are expected to greet everyone individually, even if they\u2019re in a group. I was happy when I picked this Spanish class because I love learning about new cultures, and this helped me to be able to communicate with other people, especially If I traveled to another country. This semester taught me a lot, and I can’t wait until I learn more. In this description below, I wrote an email about my family and described their personalities, hobbies, and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaging in Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While being in this class, I have met with tutors to practice speaking Spanish, and we reviewed what I have learned for the week. We used a tutoring website called tutor.com. We often had an option to work with a partner which I met up with her frequently. A’marria was very helpful to me, especially if I was stuck on some Spanish work. We used each other to get work completed, and we would exchange knowledge. I enjoyed doing partner work because I knew her from class, and we learned the same thing in Spanish class. The link below is a transcript of my tutoring session on tutor.com. We were going over the use of the verbs \u201cPresent\u00a0tense\u00a0of\u00a0SER and ESTAR.\u201d The tutor sent me an image of a chart to help me, and I printed it out to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpersonal Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My partner and I practiced greetings between an acquaintance, asking someone how they’re doing, asking where someone is from, comparing class schedules, and how to say goodbye. The two links below will show you our conversation with comparing schedules, and the last link is a video of us having a conversation, but a VHL account login is required to access the partner chat video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentational Speaking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Spanish 101, we did speaking activities either with a partner or by ourselves, and I did some by myself to learn how to speak Spanish fluently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The link below will take you to Supersite, and you will able to hear me answering questions about my family members. <\/p>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/m3a.vhlcentral.com\/sections\/938750\/activities\/130366\n\n\n\n

Presentational Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first assignment was to describe myself in Spanish. The all about me assignment was a good way to introduce myself to my classmates, and I was able to learn new words and discover what my classmates liked during this assignment. The picture below is my All About Me document, and I was able to guess who one of my classmates was by describing them in Spanish. I knew most of the descriptive words because I had Spanish in previous years, and it was a struggle for me to remember those words, but I’m glad I can say I remember them now, and it was easy for me to complete this assignment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpretive Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In lesson 4 we watched a video on VHL Supersite and the video was called “F\u00fatbol, cenotes y moles\u201d This was about a family coming together then splitting up because some went to visit a cenote and the others went to play a soccer game. The link to the video that we watched will be below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpretive listening helped me be able to listen to someone speaking Spanish, and that also helped me be able to understand someone. If I had trouble listening, I would rewind the video and play it again with the transcript on. In most scenes, I could understand what they were saying because of keywords. The videos were beneficial, and I still watch some of the videos for entertainment and to better myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
