Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational Modes of Communication

In summary, I learnt far more than I anticipated in Span 102. I’ve had my achievements and failings, but overall, I’m delighted with my abilities, which include being able to define myself, locations, weather, time, seasons, numbers, and family members and more. I am aware that many of my flaws are in my spelling and speaking, which will take time to overcome, but I am quite optimistic that I will be able to do so.

An Effective Reflection Is

In this course, I have learned a lot of new ways Spanish is spoken and a whole new list of vocabulary. I have learned more about different Spanish speaking cultures and how most words are conjured in pretense or past tense.

Exploring Culture

In this assignment and many like this I had to read and figure out where people originated from and what things they either like to do or job occupations as well as different things that are in that country.

It is important to be able to be aware of everyone’s culture and being able to adapt and learn about other people cultures and why and how they are the way they are is so unique.

Engaging in Communities

It is important to be able to be aware of everyone’s culture and being able to adapt and learn about other people cultures and why and how they are the way they are is so unique.

Interpersonal Communication

In this course we did about two discussion boards one about families diferents and mis comdias favoritas. Which will be lasted before.

The Talkabroad assignment when first introduced about it, I was so scared having to speak to a native Spanish speaker in that country currently. I did not know what to expect, if it would be more challenging or fairly easy. It turned out to be so easy and was one of the assignment I enjoyed the most. My talkabroad buddy was so nice and helpful. She never made me feel bad for not knowing how to properly say a word. We also had so much fun and things in common like family for example. I have access to the audio but unfortunately is unable to upload it here.

Presentational Speaking

We did not have many presentational speaking assignments this semester, but there was two Flipgrid assignments. Which was a bit nerve wracking to do but I found it fairly easy to complete. And it was good to see other classmates speaking and how the pronounce some of the words.

Presentational Writing

In the Lingohub, there were assignment where we had to find a Spanish speaking country and research the given topic listed at the moment. For example, I remember I wrote about the current legal laws on same marriages in Nicaragua and how there is organizations out there to protect same sex couples, but it is not fully accepted the way other countries openly embrace it.

Interpretive Listening

In Lingo learning we had majority of the assignments where you had to listen to the actively in order to understand what to do next. Which I found to be more helpful for me especially since Spanish is not my first language. I am more an visual/oral learner so being able to see and hear what need to be done was very much helpful in being able to complete the assignments as well as retain the information. Here is an assignment where I had to listen to an audio and be able to choose what the audio was saying.

Interpretive Reading

A way I interpretive Spanish in the real world would be at my job which is Wawa. At work, sometimes the customers may not speak English or very little English, so a way I am able to be of service to them is by using what I learned in Spanish 102 like numbers mainly in order to help with giving the correct change or how much gas they many want to pump. Being able to semi translate leads into conversations about families, where I come from, and currently what they are doing for the day.
