MY RESPONSIBLE LISTENING COMMITTMENTS

 

My goal(s) in becoming a more responsible listener are to not only hear what is being said to me but to also interpret the meaning behind the various apects that go into dialogue and communication as a whole. This is especially true with more physical aspects of communication such as ASL where you don't hear words people say to you rather than see them. With that being saidI don't only want to be a good listener in the typical hearing sense but in the deaf sense as well, I would love to be able to meet a deaf or hearing person and communicate affectively in whatever the setting may be with little to no barriers tht would impede our speech, and though I know this will take time, much longer than a semster I'm sure I plan to make it happen through hard work and effort on my part to understand the person or people I am trying to communicate with without making anyone feel inferior or less than they truly are.

A REFLECTION ON MY PROGRESS

 

 

When it comes to achieveing goals in an almost limitless subject such as listening I believe that there will always be room for growth and improvement especially with a goal such as mine where I hope to become a more affective communicator and listener in all aspects, but in the short amount of time I've had to do so I believe that I have truly made some headway. I've learned that simply sitting in silence as someone is speaking to me and reflecting on what they've had to say has really helped me understand their perspective and in turn give feedback that would continue a mutually beneficial and healthy relationship for our personal and interpersonal communications. In regard to an aspect of communication such as ASL where listening in the typical sense doeant apply I've learned a multitude of do's and don'ts that have elped me better understand not only a new language and way of communication but an entire culture which I someday hope to be more involved in.
