Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational Modes of Communication

An Effective Reflection

This Spanish walk has not been easy. Even though I have been on road before I still struggle with the pronunciation and understanding of the words!

Artifacts

This time in Spanish we learned the past tense of irregular verbs. Study our families so we could talk about them. We learned present tense stem changing verbs.

Instructions

Exploring Culture

We learned about our families and their similarities and differences of our culture.

Listen to Teresa family:

Interpersonal Communication

TalkAboard was quiet an experience. To exactly talk to someone from another country was exciting. My partner name was Ana Belen and she had lived in Ecuador all her life!

Presentational Speaking

Learning to pronounce words are hard sometimes for me in any language is hard!

Listening to oral texts in Spanish can be intimidating while you’re still learning the language. In addition to all the potential complications that can arise from having a still-limited vocabulary, there’s also the fact that to most English speakers, Spanish sounds like one big, very fast, run-on word. This is largely because Spanish uses a process called enlace, or ‘linking,’ between words. In English we tend to speak word by word, with some separation between each word; but in Spanish, that’s not the case in normal speech. Thus, it can sound like all the sounds run together, and that can be very frustrating for beginning learners.

One great way to help you make meaning out of sounds you hear is to listen for familiar words. Just like you can scan a written document for cognates that you recognize, listening for familiar words is the first step in predicting the content and meaning of an oral text.

Presentational Writing

We had to make a power point and talk about our family:
