Some examples being through the platform &#8220;TalkAbroad&#8221; where I had a couple of conversations with native Spanish speakers in other countries. Additionally, the textbook material often had information about different cultural practices. Lastly, through discussion board assignments I was able to learn about different cultural practices as well such as food, education, and different social topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before taking this course, I had some knowledge of Hispanic culture and the beauty and value in the culture but after taking this course and utilizing these activities I have learned so much more. Specifically, my misconceptions were challenged. I originally was under the impression that South America, Spain and other Spanish speaking regions were very traditional and not very accepting of members of the LGBTQIA+ community. After doing the activities in the textbook I learned that some of this is true but there are also very accepting spaces in Hispanic culture! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Engaging in Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaging in your local and global community is extremely important to cultivating connections with the people around you. It can offer stability, friendship, and even a sense of belonging. Additionally, its important to learn about different backgrounds, cultures, and personalities. Ways to become part of your community include joining a city or town council, reading the news, and reaching out to neighbors. Ways to get involved with global communities include signing up to be a penpal and traveling if you&#8217;re able! That is part of why I moved to VA for college from Vermont so I could meet new people and live in different communities! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-538\" width=\"149\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-630x840.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-960x1280.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/IMG_2594-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interpersonal Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these forms of communication were excellent. I found the discussion boards to be great ways to communicate and incorporate some words I might not have learned at this level. TalkAbroad is an excellent program I found out about through this class. I was able to connect with two women from two different countries. Their names are Julia and Morellia! I thought it was super great to connect with these two women and have a conversation. Although basic, I enjoyed our conversations. I would find the most difficult part of having these conversations was not being able to say some of the things I wanted to and being hung up on what I was trying to say. Going into the second one I was a little bit less nervous because I knew what to expect. However, I found the second one harder because I was getting flustered due to not understanding and getting stuck. Next time, I would remember that this is a learning opportunity not a test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presentational Speaking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this semester I had a couple of times where I was engaging in presentational speaking. One example is through the conversations with my professor. Additionally, I was on my Sororities council so I would present our weekly minutes. Lastly, I had a couple of job interviews where I was able to use these skills. Through this I learned that I am good at talking about where I can grow but sometimes have a hard time bragging about myself (this is more pertaining to job interviews). I also learned that I thoroughly enjoy being prepared and feel unhinged and stressed when I am not. Next time I might give myself more of a pep talk to build my confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presentational Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a lot of writing this semester. For this class I did discussion boards where I felt my writing was consistent throughout. However, for my Capstone final project I did a lot of research and reflection to make sure I am educated on the subject we chose. Above you will see an outline of different sources as well as the first draft of the research portion I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM-1024x726.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-537\" width=\"206\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM-1024x726.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM-768x545.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM-1536x1089.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM-423x300.png 423w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.39.22-PM.png 1626w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM-1024x760.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-536\" width=\"189\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM-1024x760.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM-768x570.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM-1536x1139.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM-404x300.png 404w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/lillicurtinspanish101\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29760\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-11.35.46-PM.png 1549w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interpretive Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this class I had to do several assignments both through the textbook and during different assignments where I had to learn to understand Spanish better. This might not be super exciting for some but it is wicked exciting for me. I have always struggled learning languages and being able to understand was great! Each textbook assignment has helped me to better understand, usually there is a listening and answering portion in each one and I could feel it getting easier and easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/75198613-0f90-41ee-b125-bf66a5096b9f\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interpretive Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a criminal justice and sociology major I read a lot. For this class I did more listening rather than reading in order to learn. But I had to do a lot of reading for my classes in my major as well as personal reading. There were many challenges that I faced especially because I struggle as a student with ADHD. Reading is sometimes hard to focus on. Ways I overcome this are to play white noise while i&#8217;m reading. I also re-read and do a lot of highlighting. I grow each time I read because I tend to learn new words and grow my knowledge through the material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational Modes of Communication Tutorials are available: Exploring Culture Throughout my time in this class there were a plethora of things that helped me gain a better understanding of cultural perspectives.
