My goals supposed to be achieved during our interpersonal communication class period. Unfortunately, I did not reach my goals which were being a brave to communicate with others and making friend from other culture to help me increase my communication competence. I do not know why when I make a goal to achieve it, I just fell to do so. As an international student, I was worry about making some mistakes of pronouncing words even though I believe making mistakes helps to learn. I know that I’m having weakness of communication competence and I have to face this problem to make my social communication better. I’m sure that the big obstacle that faced me when I wanted to communicate is the language.
I like the theory of communication competence that says we learn language by using it. For example, using language appropriately in different types of social situations. What defines communication competence is its focus on the need to develop our communication skills. However, practicing using the content of communication competence can help me to improve my ability of communication. And that content can only be practiced through the four basic areas of a language that are listening and speaking, reading and writing.
I think what do I need to focus on is that reading and speaking which are the weakest areas of my communication skills. During this winter break, I will be working on these behaviors to make stronger or at least better than they are.
