Integrating speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills
This is my first experience to explain a word with a tableaux. It is very interesting and a valuable experience for me. Through this group work I made many new lovely friends and realized that we need to think things in many other ways not only the general way. Sometimes the nonverbal such as the body language can explain things much better than language and the impact of that also greater than language. Therefore, in the intercultural communication I think to understand the nonverbal things will be the key to communicate with outsiders.
Thank you for your comments, Jin. I’m glad to hear that you found the experience valuable and interesting. Hopefully, it will become even more fascinating and fun when we start exchanging the Wordles and tableaux with our partner class in California.
I heard the word “tableaux” for the first time, and I thought it is really interesting! Conveying something to other people without words is difficult, and my group discussed what is the best way to convey. We were careful that classmates won’t mistake our theme for other’s one. Showing message with tableaux was difficult, but I think using bodylanguage is more thoughtful message than verbal communication.
The tableaux can be interpreted in many ways, so if we show same message, the way each group does is various. This is also interesting point of tableaux, I think. I was glad to experience tableaux with classmates!
