BlOG # 6 WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES AT ES2007S

Parting is such a sweet sorrow. Yes we should smile because we have met, learned and gained experiences.

Thanks to my classmates and Ms Fazilah for all the teaching and guidance. I really enjoyed myself and have learned how to improve my communication competence. I have learned how to listen actively and at the same now look out for non-verbal cues that might are useful feedback to the communicator. Come to think about it, these are little details that I often take little notice on and I am glad that through this course, I am able to incorporate these insights into my everyday life. Most importantly, I have learned the techniques on how to engage the audience and that will be useful for my final year project. Also, I think the crucial skills I have learnt were to write the good application letter and resumes and how to perform and anticipate for mock interviews. Through this course, I believe I am adept in these essential skills required for job hunt. However, I feel that the skills acquired in class are only bare foundation to communication. As such, constant practising and incorporation of skills (e.g. application of 7Cs) to everyday communication will help to improve one’s communication competence. In addition, one needs to reflect on the skills learnt and I feel blogging has been a useful platform for me to express my thoughts and feelings.

Of course, learning cannot take place without a great participation from the class. I feel that our class were very active during lesson and were not hesitant to share their experiences and ideas. Thus, I feel active engagement in class promotes a very comfortable atmosphere for learning and sharing. With that, I was more willing to share and talk more during class. I am pleased to have taken up this course which has better enriched me on what it takes to have a good and effective communication with others.

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!
